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.

  1. Display content excerpt next to title in list view

    This is an incredibly useful feature as it allows the user to a key part of each entry without expanding it in list view.

    Also there should be a difference between j/k and n/p in list view. Now all four operations automatically expands the entry, which is a bad idea.

  2. Непрочтенное/прочтенное

    Сделайте пожалуйста разницу визуально более значимо. Просто бордера слева не очень хватает для комфортного различия.

  4. Add AdSense ads so that free users can contribute by clicking on them

    Instead of not allowing users for free when you can no longer handle the traffic. A lot of users live in countries where access to online payment systems are limited. That will give them an opportunity to indirectly contribute to the service.

  6. Transfer The Vote Count

    When you decline a a request because it's a duplicate, transfer the votes acrued to the surviving Feature Request.

    That would reflect the wishes of the community, and not make those who voted on the duplicate feel their votes got wasted.

  9. something like starred Items

    it could be beautiful if it could be possible to have something similar to "starred items" function and import it from google reader.

  10. Add the ability to rename subscriptions

    Once a feed is added, I would like to be able to edit the name of the feed that is displayed in the subscription bar on the left.

  11. Allow sharing for any page (not just from subscribed RSS feeds)

    Google Reader used to have a function where you could paste in and share any URL, not just posts from feeds you subscribe to. Would love to see that here.

    And a toolbar widget to share any URL would be even better!

  12. sync read/unread with 3rd party apps (ie Reeder)

    I like to look at my RSS feeds on different platforms and in different places (PC at work, Mac at home, iOS while on the train). This means I log in using different web-browsers and apps depending on my location. I would like to be able to seamlessly continue with the apps I currently own and sync between them so I only ever see "new" items.

  13. Hide feed and folder without unread items

    It would be nice to hide feed and folder without unread items, this will be easier to navigate between all my feeds.

    Thanks :)

  14. Load all posts from a feed

    This may have ben posted already, so I apologize if it's a repeat. In Google Reader, as you scrolled from new to old posts, it would load older posts infinitely/until you reached the site's very first post. Now in The Old Reader, it only loads the last 30 or so posts, with no option to load more. I'd like for this to happen so I can transfer the items I starred in Reader to Likes here on The Old Reader.

  15. "unread posts" sync with Google reader

    Don't know if this is possible, but a full sync of all read/unread posts between Google and The Old Reader would be awesome, so one can easily switch between those amazing readers anytime

  16. Import from Google using oauth2

    Replace current direct Google import by oauth2 authentication. This will allow us to get user subscriptions without asking for their Google password.
