Recommend posts to friends
Currently friends can see each other's "shared" posts, but sometimes there is a specific post that looks interesting to a specific friend; it would be nice to be able to notify that one person about that one post.
For example, today I saw a post about 3D printers in one of my subscribed feeds, and I would like to let my wife (who's also a user of The Old Reader) know about it.
I could e-mail her the post's URL, but it would be much simpler if there was a "recommend to user" option, which would in turn make the…

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.

Auto Scrolling
Have the option to have the feeds scroll down automatically, perhaps at variable speeds and then be able to stop the scrolling when an article you want to read comes up.

Show which feeds have the least number of articles I read in them
I consume my feeds at a folder level rather than the individual feed level, some feeds contain a large number of posts.
It would be great if in the same way you display dead feeds you could display feeds where I rarely view the content (other than scanning through the headings).For example on feed Y tell me that I only expanded or visited 2% of the posts.
This feature would be useful where you have multiple related feeds to ensure a wide converge and want to flag up and remove those sources which are not as good.

Following users - comments highlight
One of the most missed functionalities from the (old old) greader, was the ability to have "conversation threads" within the shared items, this really made people fall in love with the platform.
The Old Reader (new new... like ramona i guess), have this almost nailed down, sharing and commenting in content is a breeze, however there's no highlight of the commented items and therefore the "conversation" within the topic may be lost. It would be good that the Following section highlighted the items that have received comments.
Thanks

Package your app as a Firefox OS app
And releases it in the Firefox OS marketplace - currently it lacks a good feed reader and since you are already web based it should be pretty easy to get an app of the ground using some responsive designing and then you can iterate on it from there.

Ability to Star (or Mark) items while still collapsed
I have to open a post to mark it (using key 'l'). I would like a way to mark it for later reading while just reading the headline while the list is collapsed.

Maintain the location in the list the selected feeds after all the items have been read
Use shift+n a couple times to select a feed.
Use shift+o to open the feed.
Use n until you have read all the items.
Now press shift+n againEXPECTED
The sibling feed of the feed you just finished reading is selected. That is the feed that would be below the feed you just read, is selected.RESULTS
The feed at the top of the list is selected.NOTES

Easily subscribe to eBay Search feeds.
You can easily subscribe to any eBay search by simply adding “&_rss=1” at the end of it. If you could add the option to do this automatically that would be handy!

Buttons above AND below posts, instead of just below.
Here's the idea- how about the same buttons that appear under the posts (share, like...) also appear above it? It's sure would be useful for when I'm browsing my feeds at work (or other place, where my browsing time is limitted), I see something that interests me, and would like to like it for later (so I could return to it when I have the time). As for now it requires a massive amount of scrolling if the post happens to be a long one.

Size the subscription bar contents better
This might be a bug report rather than a feature request. In Firefox 20.0 or Safari 5.1.9 on a Mac or Firefox 20.0.1 on Windows, the subscription bar on the left abbreviates subscription names too much.
For example, one of my subscriptions has the title "Office of the Privacy Commissioner", but in the subscription bar, it is shown as "Office of t..." followed by about a quarter of the width as blanks.
If I shrink the text or increase the size of the window, I see more, but I still have a great big blank section on the right side…

Fix the navigation buttons being all square boxes on machines locked down not to allow foregin fonts
All I get is little squares, not keen to allow random fonts to be used which is why I have that turned off. Fonts are for text not controls.

Allow users to add new feeds directly to a folder rather than making them add each feed and then move it to a folder.

Find As You Type (type ahead find) Firefox
If you have Find As You Type (1) turned on in Firefox some keyboard shortcuts are broken.
I think most, if not all the g + something don't work.
Some work and don't activate Find As You Type ex: j, k
Some work but active Find As You Type: 1, 2You can try the same thing in Google Reader and their keyboard shortcuts (both single and multi-key) work without activating Find As You Type. So I believe there's a way to make a web app work with it?

Links in Firefox open in Background tabs
When I control-click a link in a post it opens in a new tab, but it takes me to that tab. Then I have to make my way back to TOR. Instead, have the link open in a tab in the background. This happens in Chrome but not in FF for some reason.

Show both actual timestamp and "x hours ago" for each article
Right now, you have to hover over the "x hours ago" timestamp to see the actual time of the post. There is plenty of room to list both, so please do so. (GReader used to show both).
