The RSS feed must supply at least one day length of Hacker News. I live in middle east and maybe because of the time difference, I can not get the RSS feed of the night before, into my FeedReader and to see those missed news I have to visit http://news.ycombinator.com just to browse those news that I have missed in my FeedReader.

So the coverage of RSS Feed must be longer than currently it is. Preferably it must be at least one day (24 hours) long.

Thanks a lot.

Three related feature requests for the comments section of articles:

1. Give id's to comments so we can #reference them (I looked for it but didn't find it, surprisingly).

2. Add a "parent" link to each of a comment's children, referencing the aforementioned id, so that it's much easier to locate the parent of a comment when it's offscreen because there are lots of replies. To peek at the parent we'd just have to click the link then hit the browser back button. Perhaps use some javascript to make this parent link appear only when the parent is offscreen.

3. When we post a reply use the anchor in the obvious way so we don't have to find our comment manually. Usually you want to continue reading the comments after the one you just posted.

When I add a comment the edit link expires after a certain amount of time but I can still edit the comment (in a roundabout way). This is more of a bug than a feature. There is a hole that allow people to edit comments even after the link has expired and even thought the edit link no longer appears.
