A lot of people complained at Telnic about the missing features, but no reaction so far. Sorry for that!
Welcome to the objective forum for .tel domains! Read it first when anything is happening with .tel!

For those who are unfamiliar with the 3 winners of the design contest that led to these new templates, here's the links:TelTalk wrote:Yes Jonathan, template 7 is the best by far!
Template 7 (and 6) comes close to its draft, too!
After the contest I thought template 8 would be better, but after seeing it live I've changed my opinion:
- Template 8 can't fold the sections as intended.
- Template 8 can't compress related content as intended.
- Template 8 doesn't use new icons as intended.
- Template 8 doesn't separate folders and contacts as intended.
- Template 8 doesn't allow flexible sorting of text as intended.
So unfortunately it doesn't look as great as planned:
Mike, I agree the actual situation isn't satisfying. But mainly the current confusion of customers isn't caused by the technology state today but by lack of communication from the main provider.mikeseaton wrote:There is a .Tel product that does all this NOW - available from http://www.Telnames.com - the 8 Telnic templates unfortunately do not (it looks like they never will) and therefore will have limited appeal to the mass public.
So if I was a newbie getting involved with .Tel for the first time I would ignore the Telnic templates and focus on the offering from Telnames as shown by http://YourBusiness.tel
This is very helpful, because there are so many great designs (many are deleted meanwhile). Why we can have only 3 more? Telnic proved today they can still do so much with DNS data. It doesn't have to stay static and boring!mikeseaton wrote:PS. Here's the full design competion results - http://99designs.com/web-design/contests/tel-design-decade-63737
Jens, being realistic I don't think the lack of communication by the "main provider" Telnic will change.JH wrote:Mike, I agree the actual situation isn't satisfying.

I would like to fly on the wall in their office to find out, but unfortunately their development plan is one of the best kept secrets in domain business.mikeseaton wrote:How did Telnic get themselves into this mess ?

mikeseaton wrote:When I take a look at template number 7 from Telnic (including subdomains, Telfriends, ads, unlimited contact types and separated sections), this one is much more appealing than the one from Telnames.
The only disadvantage of template number 7 is the missing background picture!
I remember a long time ago Mark suggesting (on Telnic's forum) some of the major .tel contributors could assist Telnic as a "Steering Group" in finding out what was actually wanted by .tel customers - I think he was prepared to fly over from Canada to London to attend such a meeting.TelTalk wrote:Mark, Have you ever spoken about these topics personally with the staff of Telnic (not only via e-mail or forum messages)?
Is it possible to arrange a meeting with Telnic (e. g. via videoconference) where you can demonstrate your position?
I guess after finishing template 6 and 7 the programmer at Telnic didn't have enough time to realize all designed functions for template 8 anymore, so he couldn't finish it.TelTalk wrote:Yes Jonathan, template 7 is the best by far!

The day when Telnic would let external developers in (at least for consultation), it would mark the point of change for the better!mikeseaton wrote:Involving developers is a pretty good idea as well - it hasn't done Apple any harm with its annual worldwide developers conference !
Good question!Rambo wrote:Do they still have some surprises for us?
,,JLouisBiz wrote:New templates are nothing of that what has been promised.
It is just yet another NEW BRUSH OFF perpetrated by group of [Inappropriate word deleted! - The admin].
That is a strategy that many .tel investors are now adopting, including myself.JLouisBiz wrote:You are right, I am going to slowly drop some of the domains...I have already started.
So no worries about the future of .tel !!!mikeseaton wrote:And please don's say Telnic have no money to pay for this - the accounts filed in 2011 show Telnic have nearly 10 Million GBP cash in the bank - see http://companycheck.co.uk/company/03555437
Not if they spent it on marketing, but that never seems to happen !TelTalk wrote:So no worries about the future of .tel !!!mikeseaton wrote:And please don's say Telnic have no money to pay for this - the accounts filed in 2011 show Telnic have nearly 10 Million GBP cash in the bank - see http://companycheck.co.uk/company/03555437
