When TheOldReader opens on home page (all items) and all folders are closed
I have many folders with many RSS feeds in each of them. I would like that whenever I open TOR, it will be opened on"All items", AND, that all folders will be closed,
Please vote for it :-)
Thank you!1 vote -
Hide "such-n-such likes this"
There is a line that says "Name1, Name2 likes this" with names in red, under posts. I would like to hide it.

add a button "go to website" at the end of each feed, so it will b faster to click on it than go up to post title on long post.
especially on mobile device, it is cumbersome to go up to the post title on long post to be able to click on it and go to the original website (for example to access comments)

Define folder names and feed names more clearly
Either the folder name needs to "leap out" more, or the feeds should be indented a little. I find it difficult to see at a glance where the headings/feeds start and end.
Love The Old Reader!

Display current feed in page title
Currently the page title always stays the same when switching between feeds, i.e. the number of total unread stories followed by "The Old Reader". It would be great to add the current feed title, which would for example enable me to search for them in Firefox's location bar.

increase the line-height of blockquotes
Text within a blockquote is unpleasant to read and makes my eyeballs tingle.

Specify prefered MIME type in Accept header when fetching feeds
Currently The Old Reader fetches feeds with an "Accept: /" HTTP header.
Some servers return content in different formats on a single URL depending on the Accept HTTP header. The current value of The Old Reader's header say that it doesn't care about the format. If the server's default format is not RSS or Atom, this makes it impossible to subscribe to such a feed in The Old Reader.
The Old Reader should specify in the Accept HTTP header that it prefers the "application/atom+xml" and "application/rss+xml" over other MIME types.

Add an option to display the favicon of a feed instead of feed title in reading list
I find the favicons easier to distinguish than the uniformly green block feed titles, and you obviously have them available, because they're displayed in the list of feeds. Thanks!

Proper scroll bar
Your interface is a usability nightmare. That green scroll bar only becomes visible on hover, so I spend much of my time hovering up and down trying to find it, and then it's so small it's hugely difficult to click on. What's worse, why isn't there a way to scroll with the keyboard?!
THE INTERFACE IS UNUSABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 vote -
Send Email Open in New Tab
The email link is wonderful with one issue. I host my own server with a Roundcube webmail interface. RoundCube allows you to integrated with the browser as an email client. When using the email button, it launches as a compose message in RoundCube. Unfortunately, it replaces the current tab in Firefox. Would it be possible to add a flag to Email configuration that would force it to not replace the current tab. I.e. Launch email in new tab. The compose message is wrapped in HTML. Email as plain text would be nice.

Better interface and theme
Hi guys,
Are you planning a new theme and interface because I really think the actual one need some refreshment ! It has not been updated since a long time and I feel less and less confortable with it.
You should think about updating it, feel free to inspire yourself from inoreader and feedly. I don't want the same theme as your concurrent but a theme/interface more pleasant to use :-) Hope you understand.1 vote -
Provide ongoing search within subscription feeds
I have 10-15 items in Craigslist that I continually am on alert for potential purchase/trade. Microsoft Outlook offers a static search feature w/ RSS feeds, where reader does the searching automatically daily/hourly once the search criterion defined. This would be a huge selling point for monthly subscription plans, IE: 1-20 @ $3/mo plan, etc. Thanks for the consideration!

allow certain feeds to be imported as already read
I determine which posts to read by their read/unread status but I have a number of feeds which I don't need to read very often - I tend to let them accumulate and then browse through picking out the interesting stories. This means that my 'unread' total grows when, in fact, I have read everything that is currently interesting.
If I could set these feeds to import as already read, I would still know that they were there and go and check them periodically and my 'unread posts' would actually be the ones that I am interested in checking as…

make it possible to link to original sharer when sharing other's people posts
Very frequently, I see people sharing items and posting in their comments something like "via Joe Smith". It would be nice (although maybe not easy) to have a way of automatically link to Joe Smith profile instead.

Allow discrete sorting (latest/oldest) for unread, stared, and subscriptions
Allow unread items to be sorted oldest first, and started items as newest first.

Mark post as read in all feeds
There are some feeds that have the same post, and hence it is cumbersome to have it displayed over and over (for example new publication on arxiv.org). It would be very useful if a post that is marked as read is marked as read in all the feeds where it appears.
