Allowing to have "all items" as a start page
Hello,
Could it be possible to have an option in the preferences that would allow to have directly the "all items" page when going on http://theoldreader.com.
Moreover, this would also allow to jump directly on "all items" when clicking on the theolreader extension button on Safari.
Many thank.
Best regards,
Olivier.

Mark an article as read if I middle-click its main link.
Currently, left-clicking the main link at the top of an article entry will mark that article as read. This opens the article in a new tab, but also focuses the new tab, forcing me to switch tabs back to The Old Reader if I want to open more than one thing before I actually read them (which I pretty much always do). A middle-click in all major browsers opens the link in a new tab, but keeps the current tab selected. If this also marked the article as read, it would be the most efficient option by a wide margin!

Have "O" set to "expand and collapse post" and have only "V" set to "Open post in a new tab".
I wanted to make a suggestion. Instead of having both "O and V" set to "Open post in a new tab", why not change it so that "O" is set to "expand and collapse post" (like it did in Google Reader as well as AOL and Diggs reader). And just have only "V" set to "Open post in a new tab". for some reason I thought it was this way when I first started using "TheOldReader" or it could just be my imagination due to being used to that configuration. I feel this would be more keyboard friendly for people…

I would like to have a 3 column layout like AOL Reader offers for example:

Have an option to remove images from news feeds
I like the old reader because it's pretty clean. However, it's displaying images in some feeds eventhough it only uses up bandwith, makes the layout look ugly and it doesn't help me scrolling through a large number of news items.

How can I search/log key words like I did with Google reader/alerts?
I cant seem to set up keyword searches on your application- just feeds to web sites? Am I missing something?

Sort folders as GR did: By feed order by date, not all feeds collectively by date
Group each feed in a folder together in the order in which it is arranged. When changing the sort order by date, retain the feed order in the folder. This is how GR did it.
Currently, viewing the feed of a folder does not reflect the order of the folder; manually ordering the folder structure does not affect the feed order. This is not how GR did it.

Leave folders expanded/collapsed as they are left
Save the expanded/collapsed state of each folder regardless of browser or resolution.
The suggestion "Collapse folders as the default view" may be officially "Completed" but it is still lacking. Mobile is not the only resolution would benefit from this.
As a user commented in that suggestion, the folder state should remain just as the user left it.
As another commented, it is annoying to collapse them all down first.
Do you prefer to have your folders collapsed by default?

Improve focus retention on single expanded article in List view to allow keyboard shortcuts to work function against focused article.
Generally speaking the UI focus seems to be easily lost after expanding a single article in list view if any subsequent clicks or scrolling are done (while the expanded article continues to remain open). Subsequent attempted keyboard shortcut actions either cease functioning or are actioned against an apparently random (or top of list) article.

allow me to "like" a post without opening it
In list view, I like to scan headlines and then mark posts for future reading. As it is now, I have to open and scroll down to the bottom of each post to like it which takes a bit of time.

make the scrollbars work better
When I drag the scroll bar handle all the way down....it stops at the bottom but there is plenty more to read further down. If I then use my mouse wheel to go further - the scroll bar handle pops up to the center AND so does the content I already looked at....so dragging the scroll bar all the way down again does not let me see more content.

Fix the behavior of the 'm' key
The help screen describes the m key as "read/unread a post". I think the "m" key should be equivalent to clicking the "Mark as unread" button on the currently expanded post, but it is not. If I am viewing posts in list mode, and I open a post that is not the topmost one, and then I scroll all the way up using the mouse wheel, and then I press the m key, it will actually mark the topmost post as read even though I have not even opened it yet. Instead, I would expect that pressing the 'm' key…

Bug with next one down arrow
Doesnt happen all the time but every so often it does. I click on a long article, one that takes scrolling down to fully read. Then click on next, it takes me to 2 articles above the original, and then as i click on next one down a couple more times it takes me to the long article i was originally reading in a never ending 3 article loop. Not serious but a little bit confusing at times.

More frequent feed updates
Please prioritize more frequent updates over archiving ancient articles (which I still don't understand why people would really need). RSS is designed to inform people of news, not record history. Many of my time-sensitive feeds are showing up 12-24 hours after the original post was released (I know bc I see it on other readers 12-24 hours earlier). And not just a handful of feeds; it's a substantial percentage. I know the more updates costs more money, but I hope that resources are being prioritized for higher update frequency.
Note: I am speaking about average performance over the last month.…
