Are you talking about the feed item title that links to the original article? If so, this is the intended behavior. The title is already in the item header, so it is not needed in the item body. You can open the current item using the 'v' keyboard shortcut instead. If you really want something to click, uncheck the Hide Chevron links option.

If you're talking about something else entirely, please give me some more details or a screen capture that shows the area in question.

On Google Chrome there are no chevrons, and if i turn the option off, the titles still don't appear back.

Likewise, I use Firefox and I don't see chevrons. I don't recall exactly where the chevrons appeared before, but I used the Read It Later extension which places an icon in each item's title bar. I wonder if that's obscuring the chevron.

The new style has replaced the chevrons with a little arrow (pointing up and to the right) inside a box. It is located to the right of the timestamp for each item in list view. Clicking that icon performs the exact same action as clicking on the title. I've verified that the icon exists in Chrome (as long as Hide Chevron Links is unchecked).

Hiding/unhiding the title link is something I'd like to see as an option. Having to switch to keyboard commands (which don't work on my system anyway -- I just get a popup warning) or clicking some tiny icon way over to the right of the screen is not an efficient way to trigger an action I take all the time. I was thrilled to get rid of the inefficient white space, and everything else looks great, but this solution may be as annoying to me as the original problem.

@Gary:

Let me give you a few options. Hopefully, one will be to your liking.

1. Configure your browser to allow popups from google.com. This is what I have done to make the keyboard shortcut usable.

2. Use the following code in the Custom CSS field of the options dialog to bring the "chevron" icon to the left side of the feed item title.

#entries.list .collapsed .entry-main .entry-original {
    right: auto !important; 
    left: 1.85em !important; }
#entries.list .collapsed .entry-main .entry-source-title {
    left: 3.6em !important; }
#entries.list .collapsed .entry-main .entry-secondary {
    margin-left: 16.75em !important; }
.samedir #entries.single-source .collapsed .entry-secondary {
    margin-left: 3.75em !important; }
#entries.list .collapsed .entry-date {
    margin-right: .5em !important; }

3. Use the following code in the Custom CSS field of the options dialog to unhide the extra title link.

#entries.list .expanded .entry-container .entry-title { 
    display: block !important; }

Option three is what I'm looking for but the title links don't appear. Anything else I can try?

Thanks for this script. You've basically saved the Google Reader team from themselves after these latest UI changes.

@bowlegs:

I'm not sure why option 3 isn't working for you. You may want to try some other custom CSS to see if it may be a problem with custom CSS in general or just this specific snippet.

The only other option I can think of would be to open up your local copy of the source and edit out the line with entries.list .expanded .entry-container .entry-title

Your original text worked. I was missing the . in .entry-title. Sorry for the noise.

Thanks for the info. I'm another one who wanted option 3 and the solution worked fine for me.

From all the people who asked this question, it became apparent that removing the title link is not what most people want. The latest version (3.03.2011.1115) has added the title back in. For those who want to remove it again, the following rule can be added to the Custom CSS field:

#entries.list .expanded .entry-container .entry-title { 
    display: none !important; }

Thanks Dustin. I use lots of different PC's so this means one less thing to remember when setting up firefox on them.
