Go to the next unread feed when clicking "Mark all as read" button
Clicking "Mark all as read" button should go to the next unread feed. It seems kinda superfluous having to go left to sidebar back with your mouse when quickly scanning through feeds.
This feature request kinda goes hand in hand with already existing feature request that space bar goes also to the next unread feed.

Add a way to like/star items in the list view
That way, I can quickly sort through the headings while clicking on potentially interesting items, then go to the Liked section to read them all in one place.

allow the feed label to be hidden/moved
When viewing multiple feeds in the list view (e.g. when looking at All Items or a folder containing multiple feeds) it is hard to scan down the list as the green feed labels are all different sizes, meaning the feed titles aren't all left aligned.
An option to hide the labels, or move them to the right (i.e. end of the line) or have them all set to the same length would be nice.

Allow users to turn off favicons in feed list
Most people like favicons. I don't. I know, I'm weird. I have them turned off in Firefox. It would be great if I could also turn them off in The Old Reader. It would save you some bandwidth in fetching them, and it would make my feed list look less like a Turkish Bazaar.

Sort subscriptions by number of unread
Allow sorting of subscriptions by the number of unread items. You could sort either least -> most or most -> least. This way, you could hit all the "small" volume subscriptions first and get to the fuller ones later (or vice-versa)

Open post when clicking anywhere on the post div
When you click somewhere else than the actual characters on a .post div in a feed, the post is marked as read instead of opening. I find this very counter intuitive

implement basic syntax highlighting for pre, code and/or samp tags
I subscribe to a growing number of programming-related blogs, and posts with larger pieces of code become much less comfortable to read than on the origin website. I think (even very basic) syntax highlighting would remedy this.

Be able to set the starting page.
When I start the application, maybe I want it to always show first a certain feed, or maybe I want it to show a specific folder, or "All items".

very small mobile web enhancements
I love the fact that The Old Reader has a mobile web interface. For me this is THE reason to switch to The Old Reader. With a few minor tweaks it could be great !
1) add the button to mark all as read at the bottom under the feeds. Afterall you browse all the way down while reading them and now you have to scroll back up to press "mark as read".
2) Would be great if on mobile you could also still work with the categories and they would be collapsed by default. This way you don't have…16 votes -
Un-bold the headline after you click on it.
In Reader, when you click on a story and read it, the headline becomes un-bolded and marked read. in TheOldReader, even after I click on a headline, it stays bolded.

Show when a feed was last refreshed
Some of my feeds are not geting updated (even after waiting for more than a day). It's nice to have the ability to manually refresh a feed, but I don't want to hit refresh on ALL my feeds.
So, for each of my feeds I'd like to know when was th last refresh timestamp.
