Features or changes you would like to see come to the Anker forum?

A link to newly released items on amazon would be a good idea

… but then its a different link for every country… the way Anker does it is you select your country then when you click to Amazon it knows to take you to the country.

Of course, we get into the whole fact its a different product set for each country.

New products can usually be seen in the Power Users section

I don’t see it. Am I looking in the wrong place?

For example right now Power User points to some screen protectors and I doubt that is all Anker is releasing soon.

Yeah I know I’m sorry but this is often your best hope as of right now. Oftentimes there are many more products, so long as you check frequently. Typically, from what I’ve discovered, it is NOT updated over the weekends.
In fact, I have made a dedicated post regarding this issue. You can find out more about it here:

Thanks

Yes I think custom email notifications would be great!

What do you mean when you say product news for power users (I’m a little confused)?

I agree with what other people have said, I would like if there was a better menu for forum categories & if there was an option for a “night” version of the site where the background was black or dark grey. I prefer night versions of sites/apps since the regular white background can be a strain on my eyes, especally at night.

And something else I haven’t seen anyone mention: comment threads. I like when you reply to a comment there’s an arrow pointing to the avatar picture of the person you’re replying to. Not so much that its not directly below the comment, but further down like its a new seperate comment.

It makes trying to read a comment thread that much harder whether you’re trying to reply to a thread other people have made. Or you’re trying to backtrack to find something someone said in a previous comment. There’s a lot of scrolling & clicking to jump to the next reply or hit back, etc. Especially if the topic is active & a lot of people are commenting/replying.

I find replying on a mobile harder than it should be, the text box (typing in it now) is clipped and lots of screen taken up with fixed size nothing junk.

Just move this to XDA already.

I still get a typing bug on mobile Chrome. Sometimes I have to ‘request desktop site’ and then type for it to work. Sometimes the mobile version works fine. Does anyone else have this problem?

If the bug you are referring to is when you have clicked in the box, and type, but nothing appears then yes. I get this on multiple forums. Closing the tab and then navigating to it again normally cures it for another while.

I would like to see the menu for everything be improved, this was already mentioned, but honestly I just want to see the full name of a category instead of it being cut off half way through.

A grey or dark theme back ground for the forum.

Polls, surveys, question/answer for the forum posts would be nice too (i saw polls previously mentioned)

Better pagination for a forum post, especially one with a lot of replies, would be optimal as well.

Until this is fixed, you can click the “Categories” link (above the list) to see the full names: http://community.anker.com/categories

Products that Anker is working on would be very beneficial. I would like to see what is soon coming to the market.

I want to buy an Anker Battery Bank for an iPhone. However Anker does not make a battery bank with an charging INPUT of a female lightning port. They only have the female mini-USB input port like most (but not all of the battery banks out there.) If I buy a Anker Battery Bank and take it on a trip, I need to take 2 cables to be able to charge my Bank- an USB x USB cable to charge the bank plus an USB x LIghtning male end to charge my phone. About half the phones out there are Apple products… By the way I really appreciate the reliability of your Battery Banks - better than any other brand I can find.

Agreed, BUT Usb-c is the future. In fact, rumor has it that Apple ID even going to switch over to Usb-c with their iPhone 8 (Apple is usually the one of the last to switch to new, advanced technologies). Several other phones have also been making the transition over to Usb-c. (Google pixel, note 7, lg v20 - I think, etc…). Anker is already starting to make more and more of their portable chargers include a Usb-c input, fortunately and luckily. I really appreciate that! Way to go Anker! But I do agree with you: at least one power bank with a lightning input from Anker would be pretty neat.
