In the top right corner of my RSS feed, I can show the categories:

Thread Starred Attachments Read From ... ...

However, it doesn't seem that I can display the source. As an example, in my News folder inn my RSS feed, I get articles from theconversation.com. Authors come from everywhere, so the from category doesn't actually tell me the source.

Is there a way to show the source of the article in our RSS feed?

I'm not sure what you mean by the source. I added this feed to TB:

http://theconversation.com/ca/home-page/articles.atom

and the From column for each article states the author and their title and institution. Unless you receive these articles in a feed that aggregates different sources, besides theconversation.com. If that's the case, I suppose you could filter the feed according to something like Message-ID, and tag each source with a different color.

Thanks for the help. To confirm, I receive the articles in a feed which aggregates from different source, as you mentioned. I filtered according to message-ID like you suggested, which worked.

Now to do it for all my feeds...

Would be nice to see something like this as a default category. Where is it best to make a feature request?

Feature requests, formally known as Requests For Enhancements, are usually submitted to Bugzilla. I haven't found any existing reports that are similar to this issue, but if you submit one, include a link to this forum topic. TB's RSS is fairly basic, so you might find RSS browser add-ons have more options.
