It's kinda annoying having to reset this on each mac.. Couldn't you simply check the db when logging on and set the cookie then?? Hmm for the automatically mark as read when reading an article..

With the exception of Daring Fireball's authenticated feed, I'm fully on Newshutch now. And I couldn't be much happier! Thanks again for making my news consumption so much better and productive. :) Thanks a lot Nathan!

Domscripting uses a relative reference to its own domain, which should work, but doesn't for some reason. We'll fix these issues, but until then try adding them directly: http://domscripting.com/blog/rss http://feeds.gawker.com/lifehacker/full Sorry Laurent, Lifehacker pages use a relative reference “/index.xml” that actually redirects to Feedburner, so it doesn’t work.

That makes flagging much more useful, in addition to helping me fight the "RSS readers on the web (thanks to Newshutch) are way better than desktop readers battle."

I freakin' love auto-mark-as-read! Maybe I'm just lazy but that feature will save me so much time. I'd rather mark things I want rather than mark things I don't. And the flag tab..brilliant. I didn't quite get the whole flag thing before. Now if only I could get my email client to mark things for deletion unless I say so... You guys SO rock! I freakin’ love auto-mark-as-read!

But is it my networks connection or does the site rendering take some extra seconds now? I at at least get a feeling that it loads a little slower in both Firefox 2 and Opera 9. Oh, great updates!

Here are my two cents: 1. automatically mark items as read: I've been rooting for this option for a long time, and I'm glad you've finally added it. However as it is right now, I can't and won't use it. There are two issues here: - first, it breaks the "keep unread" functionality. If I want to keep an article for a later reading, my only option now is to use the flagging system (which is not its correct use). - second, since everything is automatically marked as read, what's the point of showing the mark read button (and the new mark read top link)? It doesn't make sense. As I've said before the whole point of this "automatically mark items as read" option is to ease the flow and remove the clutter of buttons. With this option checked, the only things needed are the flag button and a "keep unread" button / checkbox. 2. I don't see the point of this new "mark read" top link, but I guess it's discreet enough that I don't notice it too much. Still it provides some visual noise that I wish I could remove. 3. New flag tab. Excellent modification. 4. New "mark everything read" position. Although I don't use the independent scrolling option, it seems like a very good improvement. 5. Fixes. One of the three feeds in my list that didn't work with Newshutch now works correctly. So yay! Only two to go :) Well I have mixed feelings about this update. Here are my two cents:
