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".
(thinking…)

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.

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

  2. Have a "Next New" bookmarklet

    I use Google Reader's "Next" button, that you can find under the goodies section. Once in my bookmark bar, I can click it to take me to the latest updates- on the actual blog or site. I love giving the sites hits and just visiting them.

  4. Next button feature that takes you to blogs directly using your subscription list

    Much like the Google "Next" button, make a clickable button that is located in a toolbar that takes you to the next unread blog you subscribe to. (This way you visit blogs directly, but you manage your subscriptions through The Old Reader)

  5. Aphabetical Sorting Within A Folder

    Please allow users to sort their subscription (not only folders) in alphabetical order.

    Example: Folder News has 100 feeds. If subscription #1 posts an article starting with "Nasa discovers ..." at 1:03 PM, the subscription # 2 posts same article at 3:45 PM, we dont want to read the same article twice.

    Alphabetical sorting will save us time to not read same thing twice.

    Thanks in advance

  8. Option to hide counter at unread feeds in sidebar

    Having a count at each feed items introduces a negative pressure to me. Instead ive disabled this feature in Google Reader to only highlight the feeds with unread items.

  10. Fix "Clicking on a post scrolls to it" (again)

    I appreciate that the "Clicking on a post scrolls to it" feature was improved, but the behavior is still not what I expect (i.e.: not the way Google Reader works, anyway).

    Right now, the implementation seems to be "if a post's title is lower than the top of the reading pane and the post is clicked, scroll to it". This is a problem because I can be reading a post that is in the middle of the reading pane, select text, and boom it slides up, which is clearly unwanted. Also, it only works one way: when clicking on the…

  12. Not automatically mark as read when clicking a post

    I love the new "Scrolling through posts marks them as read" option, which I disable, since I don't want posts to mark themselves as read automatically.

    Unfortunately, posts still mark themselves as "read" when I click on them (when selecting text, for example), so the feature is only partially implemented for me.

    I wish the option would be clearer in the intent: either posts mark themselves as read when "seen" (clicked, scrolled by, etc.), or they don't.

    Here's what I want (even if it may sound weird to somebody who works differently): I ONLY want to mark posts as…

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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)
