Thanks for reporting this - this is a known issue and we're currently working on a fix. I'll post an update shortly -

strawbeard's reply to "Can we hide or remove the new Explore section?" was just promoted to the most useful! Nick and 3 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Maybe this forum posting is helpful.

Hey guys,

It looks like you may be misunderstanding the short-term fix. Under this workaround, you'll be free to use your tags and folders, you just can't *recreate* any of the tags or folders that you have previously deleted - which shouldn't be a problem since they are deleted and presumably not in use.

As for a long-term solution, I'm unfortunately unable to give you an ETA on a fix. Please keep in mind that the team working on Google Reader is small and we're dedicated to prioritizing the bug fixes and features that will positively affect the largest number of individuals.

The issue you are experiencing only affects a small subset of users. While we're working on a long-term fix, I want to tell you in the spirit of being completely honest and transparent with you that a long-term solution may not be immediately on the horizon. I hope you can understand.

Please let me know if you'd like to try the short-term workaround, which again, will only prevent you from recreating previously deleted tags.

Nick

Hey Anthony,

We'll continue to search for a long-term fix to this problem; in the meantime, this is a short-term workaround for the problem that involves the tradeoff. It includes both Folders and Tags. – Nick, on September 14, 2009 22:53

Okay guys, it looks like we may have found a workaround for your accounts - the only catch is you won't be able to recreate tags you've deleted, or the problem could return. If this sounds like an acceptable solution to you (i.e. you promise to use different tag names), let me know and we'll get to work on your accounts.

Also, clicking "Options" and then "Settings" on your Facebook profile should give you the option to directly import shared items from Google Reader

You can always add the feed URL of your shared items to Facebook. Also, have you tried Reader's 'Send To' feature?

Hi ingvald,

Unfortunately, this has been a common complaint on our official Help Group for some time. Marking all items as read or "not new" after 30 days is as much a feature as it is a logistical consideration to keep Google Reader running smoothly for everyone. At this time, keeping track of all unread items all-time is just not feasible. This doesn't mean that we don't hear your concern and that we aren't always thinking of ways we can change this behavior for the better. Thanks for helping making Reader better-
