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?)
3 votesThere is an option in your settings called “Protect me from accidentally marking all as read”. If you select this, your click will always be confirmed before marking as read

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.
3 votesYou can accomplish this today by going to settings → Social tab, then disabling our default Twitter share and configuring your own without the “via” query string parameter. The Service Url for the custom Send To will be: https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=%{url}&text=%{title}. Send an email to support@theoldreader.com if you have any issues or any further questions.

Make it possible for us to get rid of the item old reader picks
I like to find my own blogs that interest me. It is anoying for me to see my readerfeed that say's i have 100 unread post, and more than half of it are nog blogs that i'm following. So please make it possible to get rid of it or allow us to hide this item.
1 voteYou can easily do this by clicking on the folder name, then clicking the “Unsubscribe” button. This will remove The Old Reader Picks folder and all of the feeds within it.

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.

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.

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)?
1 voteActually we show link to w3c validation just after we are unable to parse specific feed.

Feed not showing up in my language [English]
The following link(s) when pasted into "add a subscription" brings up the Japanese language version.

I think this is a problem with Adobe? …But I'm not sure!
Can you shed any light on this problem?1 vote -

Fix referrer sending so it doesn't tigger anti-hotlinking code
JWZ's blog is replacing images with an anti-hotlinking image because of something being odd about the referrer: http://www.jwz.org/blog/2013/06/i-am-posting-a-picture-of-kittens/#comment-130608
3 votesThis should be fixed on jwz.org side. Reading an RSS feed via a web RSS reader will always result in “hotlinking”, that’s just how browsers work.

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 you1 vote -
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)

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?…

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.
