Move the 'unsubscribe' button
The 'unsubscribe' button and 'mark all as read' button are too close to each other, and the wrong button could be pressed by mistake. Suggestion is to move the unsubscribe button to the other side of the screen, or simply elsewhere.
NB : There was already a suggestion for this which has been marked as 'completed'. However they're still right next to each other, so submitting this again.

Make a sister site, yeoldereader.com, which is exactly this site except that "The Old Reader" is replaced by "Ye Olde Reader" everywhere.

Sort posts by the time of update
Sort posts by the time of appearance in the reader. Currently - if I understand it correctly - the posts are sorted by the time of publication. Due to the delays in the feed updates, it often happens that updated posts don't appear on top of the list and I miss them.

sharing/loving at the top of articles
The "share" and "love" buttons are at the end of each articles.
Sometimes I don't have the time to read a long article with a promising title.Actualy I have to scroll down to the end of the article to be able to "love" it and get a link to the article so I can read it later.
I would suggest either adding a "read later" or "put inside to read later" button OR put the love button at the top of every article, following the title.

Change folder from the feed
Change what folder a feed is part of from the feed, no dragging/dropping required.
Since I have updated my settings to hide feeds/folders with no unread items I can't move a new feed to that folder until a new post shows up there or I change my settings. A dropdown with the available folders available from the feed would solve the problem.25 votes -
"Scrolling through post marks it as read" setting per view type
It looks like some users do not like "scrolling through post marks it as read" as a global setting and would prefer being able to configure this behavior separately per view type.

Emulate Google Reader "compact view"
Google reader had a function call "compact view" and it compresses the headlines into a more e-mail like format.

As a user I would like to configure my start page, e.g. "All items"
In many cases I would like to start with the "All items" page instead of the current "Home" page. So, it would be helpful to configure in the settings page the starting page one personally likes to have.

Mobile Site Static Menu or 'Back to Top'
I've been using The Old Reader for a good two weeks now and truly appreciate the service. Great minimalist UI and nice mobile adaptation. When I load a feed that is large or has a lot of unread items, scrolling can be difficult. Maybe either a small static menu button or a scroll to top button would be helpful?

Bug: Up/Down buttons don't work when page is scrolled slightly
To reproduce:
- Go to All Items.
- Click an item in the middle of the list.
- Scroll up a bit.
- Click the Up arrow button in the top right area.
Expected: to move to the article directly above, i.e. if I was on the 7th item it would then open #6.
Actual: the item at the top of the list is opened instead.

Extra audio support
Google Reader, Netvibes and Feedly seem to be able to play all of my mp3 podcast feeds perfectly in Firefox.
Theoldreader seems to do nothing when i press play.
Having emailed support they say it's because Firefox doesn't support mp3 files (which I find odd as the other three players seem to cope fine).
I propose that theoldreader add an extra case so that it uses the existing <audio> html tag for other browsers but embeds the audio in the same way Google etc. do for Firefox users.

Keep all unread posts, not only the newest ones when not using Reader for a while
When one is offline during holidays they might want to see all the news from the period of time, not only the newest ones. Keep all the unread posts.

Always visible "Mark All As Read" button
It's clumsy to scroll to All Items in order to reveal the Mark All As Read button. Maybe it's just me, but I 'empty' OldReader when I'm finished with a session.

Great reader! One suggestion
Great reader! One suggestion I'd like to make is to provide a link in the listing that allows you to go directly to the source article without having to open the summary? Most times I can simply read the headline and would like to go directly to the source without having to open the summary and then click on the provided link to go there.

Remove feed title from article title in list view
Right now in list view, the feed title is right next to every article title. This can be jarring when this combination causes long feed titles crowd article titles from view. Google Reader doesn't even show feed titles in list view, only the article titles. I think it'd be great to either remove the feed titles or put them on a line under the article title.
