  3. fix the log in with Google option.

    I don't understand how it remains unavailable for so long. If you think no one is using this option, just take it down from your log in page.

    There are currently 2 ways to manage your folders. You can double click on the folder names on the left feed list and rename. This will work on everything except the “Subscriptions” folder, which you cannot change/remove.

    The second way is through the subscriptions management page here: https://theoldreader.com/subscriptions

    In this interface, instead of renaming folders, you can move all the feeds from the folder you want to rename to a new folder.

  5. Set maximum width and height for iframes (youtube and videos)

    I love the new theme, and the fact you're doing a proper app, but could you please not forget about the desktop users? :)

    It's not a biggie, but the videos are huge if I view the page in the browser... if you could add something like this to your css that would be great!

    div.content.clearfix > div > p > div > iframe {
    max-width: 500px;

    max-height: 281px;
    }

  6. Is there something that can be done about the rash of obvious spammers joining and friending people?

    I've had 6 people start following me this week who are obvious spammers, and there doesn't seem to be any way to avoid, dismiss, or report them.

    We have removed this spammer. For future reference, you can require all new followers to be approved. In the settings page on the “Social” tab, check “Protect my shared posts”. We’ll continue to monitor for spammers and should the issue continue we’ll work on a solution.

  7. Do you have no keystrokes??

    If not, then... WHY NOT????

  8. Don't "kill" sponsored posts (allow to be showed again with show all posts).

    Sponsored posts are quite targeted and useful (at least to me & till today;) but once are read they are missing and show all posts doesn't show them any more.
    I think will be no harm if they are treated same as posts (or keep them in a special folder for future reference)

  9. Show shared item source (currently overwritten by sharer's username)

    Items I've subscribed to are displayed as:

    HEADLINE
    Source by Author

    Items that are shared with me are displayed as:

    HEADLINE
    Username by Author

    This means if my friend John shares an article from The Onion, I can't tell that it's an article from The Onion because it will look like

    PRESIDENT OBAMA RECALLS PICKLES
    John by Joe Smith

    instead of
    PRESIDENT OBAMA RECALLS PICKLES
    The Onion by Joe Smith

    The item's source should not be obscured. This is valuable information.

  11. Add "1 day" to "mark items as read older than" drop down list

    I subscribed to some sites that are updated very often (mostly news sites). I still prefer reading those sites via The Old Reader instead of visiting them manually. But only the articles of today are interesting, so marking all articles that are not from today as read, would be a nice option.

  12. Make default scroll setting to "mark as read in Full View only"

    I'm assuming that most people (like me) who use List View don't want articles to be automatically marked as read when we scroll past a list to select what to read.

    For me, it's very disconcerting as it's very easy to just scroll through dozens of articles and lose track of what was read/unread.

  14. Confirm button for "mark all as read"

    At least three times I've ruined my feeds by accidentally hitting "mark all as read". At the very LEAST there should be a " confirm" prompt - ideally the mark all as read button should be hidden in a menu instead of right where it can be easily fat-fingered and there'd be an undo function.

  17. Allow us to subscribe one year at a time.

    For reasons best known to yourselves, you refuse to allow subscriptions or donations via paypal. This has prevented me from doing either so far.

    However, I would be willing to use "Stripe" to donate/subscribe, if you'd allow a "one off" mode - I am sure I am not alone in being unwilling to enter a credit card subscription, as I would be dependent on Stripe's goodwill to cancel later. In the UK at least, credit card holders have no way of cancelling a credit card subscription via their own account (weird but true!).

    We’ve changed the cancellation process so that it doesn’t end the premium subscription immediately, but at the end of the payment period. This will effectively allow you to pay for one year.

    Paypal is also a payment option.

  18. Pay with PayPal for premium accounts

    I want to upgrade to a premium account, but don't have a credit card. Please support additional payment options. Thanks.

  19. Notify before deleteing

    So i guess all my feeds got "reset" because of this:
    http://theoldreader.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/146276-how-many-posts-per-feed-do-you-store-

    You should really notify you users before doing that, I got really annoyed when logging in and all my feeds where reset. Now I don't think i can trust you any more...

  20. Make a way to mark all items as read

    I am way behind in looking at my feeds and am overwhelmed by the number of items there are. In Google's Reader there was an overall "Mark as Read" button that applied to ALL the unread items in my feed. I'd like to see something like that so I don't have to click on each feed separately and mark all those items as read. Thanks.
