I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. Remove/disable/change "Mark All As Read" on the "View All" view

    Accidentally clicking "Mark All As Read" when in the "View All" view is one of the most catestrophic things I've done by mistake in TOR. My suggestion is to remove it from the "View All" view, perhaps moving it to a menu or other less easily accesible location, or to protect it with a confirmation dialog. (Having an "undo" for this or for all "Mark all as read" actions would be great too of course, but simply changing it in the special case of the "View All" page might be easier?)

  2. Allow me to leave off "via @theoldreader" on Twitter shares

    I would understand if The Old Reader was a free service to automatically append the service's name, but since I'm paying for support I would like to leave off the ad from my tweets automatically.

  4. Allow different time sort directions between folders.

    I want to be able to sort my unread items by oldest first (so I can catch up), but most other lists I want to view in newest first (since newer already read posts are usually more relevant).

    It would be nice if the "newest/oldest first" button only applied to single folders, instead of applying to all of them. As it currently stands I have to switch the sort order back and forth whenever I move between my folders and subscriptions.

  5. let me read the whole post?

    If I am using Spritz, but you show only the title of the rss feed's story, how does using Spritz help? If it's just the title, I can read that plenty quick without Spritz. So how can I expand the post to show the entire story? Without that feature, Old Reader is just another rss site.

  8. Button to skip new feed validation even if validation fails.

    Sometimes the w3c feed validator fails even when the feed should be valid. Could we then have a small button to ignore this and add it anyway? (With the caveat that it may not function in TOR)?

  9. Feed not showing up in my language [English]

    The following link(s) when pasted into "add a subscription" brings up the Japanese language version.

    http://rssfeeds.tv.adobe.com/learn-lightroom-5.xml

    I think this is a problem with Adobe? …But I'm not sure!
    Can you shed any light on this problem?

  14. email liked items

    When read an item I like I used to send it automatically by email to a friend or even to my own mailbox.
    Is there something similar with your reader.
    Sorry and thank you

  15. dark theme (best for the photos)

    I scan a lot of photos and they look better on a dark background

    (я просматриваю много фотографий и они лучше смотрятся на тёмном фоне. поэтому был бы рад увидеть в настройках выбор тёмной темы оформления)

  16. Make read feed titles regular font

    First off, thanks for this product. The transition from Google Reader was very smooth for me. I have one little gripe that keeps this from being 100% perfect - in the list of items, both read and unread feeds have the same bold font. The only way to tell them apart is a this green marker. This is not easy on the eyes as the name of the feed source is also highlighted in the same green color.

    Is it possible to just change the font of the read feeds to regular and keep it bold for the unread feed?…

  17. unbold items marked as read

    It is so difficult to differentiate what I have read when it is all in bold. It would be much easier if, once read, the line item becomes UNBOLDED.
