The Stupid Mini Bar

I hate that stupid mini-bar in the bottom corner, but every I time I change my preferences, it changes it back. How do I turn it off for good?

Feedly River Page Problem

Whenever I click on the feedly button on my firefox taskbar, the page comes up "sorry, we were unable to find page river." Otherwise the site works fine -- but it's an annoying screen. What can I do?

A comment on the problem "Mark as read is no longer working." in Feedly:

1.2.70. It's pretty simple: when I bring up a particular blog, I get a list of posts. If I click on the oval by the title and the star that should mark everything as read, it doesn't work. And when I click the little "i" and choose mark read, it still doesn't work. – Kevin, on November 06, 2008 05:16

Okay, another minor quibble: why can't I rearrange feeds within a tab? My news feeds are not in alphabetical order or grouped in a logical fashion, and I can't seem to change them.

I wasn't able to do that. But restarting my brower fixed the RSS problem! And yes, I'd be happy to beta test anything you want; I love my shiny new reader...

Edwin,

Another minor gripe: why can't I rearrange my tabs? I want to have two tabs: Blogs and News, in that order. Yet because I created the News tab first, it appears above Blogs -- and I can't change it.

Edwin,

Problem partially solved -- if I go to Google News and enter a search, it allows me to add the RSS/Atom feed to Feedly. I can do it that way!

Edwin,

Here is an example of a feed I created using Yahoo's custom RSS feed creator:

http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss...

When I put it into the browser, the RSS feed comes up -- but the "subscribe' menu only lists Bloglines, Yahoo, and Google. Feedly doesn't come up.

I would love a solution to this, so I can abandon Yahoo forever. But I need custom feeds, because I'm a law professor and a blogger (www.opiniojuris.org) and need specific news searches beyond commercial RSS feeds!

Thanks!

Kevin

Edwin,

Thanks for the reply! As for 2, what about dividing the page into two windows -- one for feeds, one for posts. That shouldn't be too difficult; it is what Bloglines does.

I thought of another question: what about custom RSS feeds, like I create for My Yahoo? It would be great to be able to add them to feedly.
