Fix the navigation buttons being all square boxes on machines locked down not to allow foregin fonts
All I get is little squares, not keen to allow random fonts to be used which is why I have that turned off. Fonts are for text not controls.

When viewing a single feed, there's no indicator of how many posts are left. I can only see the number of posts in a folder or over all.
When you have a lot of folders, with many feeds inside, sometimes you click on the feed name of a particular post, causing the UI to show you all posts that are from that feed. Unlike Google Reader, though, once you're looking at a single feed's stream of posts, you cannot see how many articles/posts are in the feed.
For instance, I have a folder with tech blogs. Sometimes are viewing a few posts, I click on the Slashdot feed, singling it out. The Old Reader UX does the right thing and shows me all Slashdot posts. It even shows…

Get rid of the "Unsubscribe" button for folders
Having an unsubscribe button seems completely unnecessary, but potentially very dangerous. It seems more likely a person would use it by accident than on purpose. And if people think there actually is some use, perhaps turning it on or off could be an option in the settings menu.

Option to open a specific folder directly when going to the home page
I have one main folder with news which I regularly read. The other folders don't have as much priority and I skim through those when I got some extra time. The "Home" section doesn't have any value for me, I'm not even looking at it, it's the list of news items that count and is the first thing I go to.
It would be great if an option was introduced to take you to the specified folder directly as soon as you go to "theoldreader.com" and are logged in.

Use Smaller Font in Feed Title
The feed title at the top of the right-hand pane is in a very large bold font, and does not scroll with the article. ie. it is always on the screen, and advertises what you are reading about to anyone within 20 feet.
I always liked that Google Reader's subtlety. It had the same title but in a moderate sized font and scrollable.

Inline install prompt for Chrome extension
The website should detect if a user has Chrome and doesn't yet have the extension/app, and prompt to install them.
Implementation guidelines: https://developers.google.com/chrome/web-store/docs/inline_installation

fix discrepancy between unread-posts-counter and displayed feeds
The last few days, two of my feeds have had a (1) next to them, and thus the "all items" feed has had a (2) next to it. But none of them display any unread items. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/jeGiJnC.png

Mobile website unstable and breaks too easily
I can barely use TOR from my Android phone (4.1.2) from the Browser AND Firefox for Android 21.
After a server error or randomly when performing any action, I will be either stuck on the Home screen, or I will be logged out.
I do not experience this from Win 7 Firefox 21... well maybe rarely.

Blogger
The only thing I want with a new rss reader is to be able to post the posts I want to to blogger. If you plan to add this feature GREAT! If not, can you tell me any rss reader that does? I'd greatly appreciate it

highlight the mobile web on your website.
I'm a Google Reader refugee and I really like what I see in The Old Reader!
Many people are looking for a mobile app and don't seem to realize that the mobile web version is excellent!
I suggest you highlight this for new users as a way to satisfy those folks. Just add a shortcut button that goes to the web page and presto, no need for a native app.
Many people seem to want an app for everything, when many apps just a the browser internally.

Add a style to current/active item
Unless I'm missing something, there is nothing to distinguish the current/selected item from any other unread item (the left border goes away). Something to distinguish it would be nice - or even just add an active class to that item so I can do it with my user css :)

List view width adjustments
The current list view has 3 parts, specified as:
120px, 58%, 66pxThis mixture of % and fixed pixels corrupts the display on small screens, and wastes space on large screen.
Please remove the "4 hours ago" on the right side, and this allows for a nice: 20% (feed title) 80% (article title) layout.
This keeps all titles properly justified, and using all available space, at all screen sizes.
(This also fixes: "Wrap text in list view", and many others)

g then u go to subscription allows you to navigate to a subscription by entering the subscription name
g then t go to tag allows you to navigate to a tag by entering the tag name
g then f go to friend allows you to navigate to a friend's shared items by entering the friend's name
