NEW TELPROXY LIVE !!! Comments ? Great to see the new TelProxy ! I don't even have to get deep into it to see that it's simply fantastic ! Thanks Telnic ! |
Fantastic! |
Thank you Telnic for the release of new telproxy. Please consider following comments in addition to the comments made by others. From PC : 1) Should be able to change the colour of Fonts to match the background colour changes. 2) Text advert font size too small compared to other fonts sizes of "Records". 3) Should have an option to "display/ not to display" links "manage", "view private data" and "learn more" at top right corner. 4) Also should have the option to "display/ not to display" print icon (plus "Print this") and vCard icon (plus "Download vCard"). 5) Consider removing the "Powered by" from top of the .TEL logo. From: Mobile - 1) When you click the url of the "Icon" the picture loads on a new window. The picture is displayed on top left corner of this new window. How about adding a "Go Back" sign below the picture. Then it is easier to navigate back to the main .TEL page, instead of forcing the mobile user to manupulate the key pad/touch pad of the mobile phone. Regards |

Looks like I found it in the main "Settings" of the Control Panel -Settings (Edit Settings) -Customize .tel page -[] Search in affiliate-programs.tel only By selecting this option, you will disable searching other .tel resources from your page. Visitors to your .tel will then only see search results inside your .tel resource. Very Good, Sorry I missed it ! :o[/size] |
http://theteloffice.com/images/Picture-142.jpg I'm rocking the .tel logo on my first use of the new design! |
Calm down! Overall this is a one hell of a GREAT step in the right direction! Overall this looks much better than the old one! Its a much better place of the .tel logo! The search is great for users to discover .tels! Now I can start showing my .tel domains without having to worry about the to ugly look. I don't understand how some people accctually think it looked better before? There are still stuff that can be improved and fixed and there will allways be, but Telnic will fix these, Its not the end of the world. You have realise that no matter what change Telnic make there are allways people who will complain. Having the search on the each site is dispite what some people here argue the best for .tel domains to make them really work. Just like every other service or community also have a search on their pages! |
Been to busy to post before, like JLouis, I too have been trying to placate clients today with the wierd things happening in the new front end. Everything seems to have settled down a bit, everything but the search seems to work, ok. The colour choices have given the .tel a new lease of life, still waiting for my final choice to propagate. I gave a Graphic Artist/Designer Graduate friend of mine a few quid and asked him to do a new defining logo for dialaroom, he stayed up all night and came up with a new one (see avatar) and a larger one incorporating the name for the sister web, sites. I then chose the colours from the logo to compliment it, it appears that the holder doesn't support transparancy, so will have to put in background colour. however, the point is there is no comparison with the old look, it's a fantastic improvement, my clients think so, I think so. We need people like JLouis and Dotteller, Mactel, Shahid and all the rest of you guys on this forum. Telnic do listen, they will sort out the bugs I'm sure. Of course things can get a bit heated, but in the end we all want to see it succeed. A beta would probably have helped, but how practical that would have been I don't know, because, we would have never been happy. This is not a case of the lunatics taking over the assyllum. The Telnic team are still running it, but there also running one of the best forums out there, they let everyone have their say within legal reason. I for one feel lucky to be in at the early stages of something people are so madly enthusiastic about. |

A few more template suggestions I know that it is impossible to please anyone entirely with layouts and we shouldn't ask telnic to dramatically change the consistency of .tel format. But some information should be emphasized more than others. I believe that static information like labels should never have more emphasis than the content especially since we see Goto, Web, etc over and over on a page. And some text colours need to be controlled, no sense changing top to dark colour when you only can get black text, right? However, after I put this graphic together, I realize that the solution is to allow simple font and format changes to be controlled by the user in the CTH: [x] Labels bold [x] Change title font color to [xxx] etc Opinions?

Thanks everyone for your feedback and comments. We've been monitoring the thread all day and have been considering carefully the feedback whilst tweaking the operations in the live environment which is why we're now providing a summary of all requests: • Disabling “Search All” for the TelPages window is done via the Settings. Deselecting the checkbox hides the option and limits the search to content of one domain. NOTE: some of the search components were not performing as expected, so the searchbox has been taken down temporarily. You can still configure your Settings for when the Search is re-enabled. • This release is the first in a series of updates where a Template Gallery will be added. The gallery will include several templates with different fonts, background and styling, as well as a template resembling the old layout; we will continue adding to the gallery after it is first launched to enable a diversity of displays. • Some of the features (including the “Manage” link) have been widely requested by the community through different channels. Some of these users are considerably less technical than some of the forum members. In this view, the new features have been deemed important for mass adoption of .tel beyond the technical first movers. • The issue with the map display has now been resolved. • Other issues with rendering specific new dialogues or controls are due to caching - please clean your cache and restart your browser, and you should see your control panel and proxy fully operational. The systems are operating normally, no known issues are pending with the exception of the search. Thank you very much for your patience in rolling this out live. Once again, we would be happy to receive further constructive feedback from the community via various communications channels, and improve the new functionality accordingly. I would ask all posters to refrain from using excessive formatting and reposting the same requests several times. All reports are logged, tracked and will be acted upon. We appreciate your passion and your investment but we would urge you all to consider your tone when writing in order to not cause potential offense to others in the community during this new phase of the service upgrade. |
See guys, the world has not come to an end. Might I suggest takeachillpill.tel |

Yes, it would be much nicer! We need not to forget that TEL was designed to be the online visit-card, so it should not to look like a custom web-site. My proposition for future layout - to put Telnic's logo by default as avatar, until the owner of domain will change it to his own avatar. I think there is no need to show logo all the time - people who use tel, already know Telnic. Second proposition - to put 'Print this" and "Download vCard" to the ribbon on the top, there are now "MANAGE" and "LEARN MORE". And then to put entire this ribbon from the top of the page to the bottom of the page - all these functions are not very important and not often used, so they will do good being on the bottom. After that we will have free right part of the page. So then it would be possible to place contacts and other important information at the centre as before. And I still do not understand why it is necessary to show sings "Note" and "keywords" and icon of "Note"? They only take place and bring nothing. Also, would it be less confusing, if that arrow on the icons, which now points downward, would point to the right-side?[/size] |
Great graphic example,Maximka, I would be surprised if any one disagrees with any of your first class tweaks. From my point of view, I would be very happy if Telnic adopted these small changes. Anyone disagree? |
Hello, I have been late in reply, all i can say is Thank you Telnic for listening to us and getting .tel in new shape its nice to know and see things we have said or still saying and if it can be implemented telnic is trying it's best. I don't think in today's world you could get something this good or equivalent for just $ XX. infact now i can say .tel is 1 stop for all your contacts and can act as a good site without a webmaster. @Dailaroom love your logo Shahid |
You should definatly not be put the top to the bottom, its hard to get things to stay at the bottom and it could look weird. I would be nice with some borders to frame in the content and stoping it from "floating in space" Checkout the layout of this page, on which the topheader goes all the way across but the main content is in the middle. http://www.webmonkey.com/blog/HTML5_...t_Color_Picker With the option to select a bordercolor and a backgroundcolor? For whats outside of the border. It would be great to be able to change the: color of the headline color of the text color of links color of icons or if not possible/icons It would be great to be able to change the color of the icons (The green does not fit well with some colorschemes) If the manage button could be hidden. The arrow pointing sideways would look more positive. The navigating breadcrumbs at the top needs 2-3 pixels in space from the top. I think that would be enough for 99,99% of peoples need. But these are not critical, the default looks much better than before! Great work! |
What is it for? May I suggest you all look at the post "Desktops will be irrelevant" in the General section and then have a look at your .tel sites on your mobile phones. For desktop viewing we had a site design which was unique and memorable (you dont have to LOVE the look of it). We also had a strong corporate identity. What we now have is anaemic and appears sparsely populated. We are not a conglomeration of individual, personally styled websites, who happen to meet in the same location. We are elements of one on-line global directory and as such, need to display common, easily recognizable and memorable graphic design. The function of owners is to populate their .tels with meaningful, truthful content, and to do so as quickly as possible. Buggering about with colour schemes and pictures is best left to interior designers, particularly so since mobile phones do not display colour schemes nor avatars on .tel sites (and nor should they). The new display width should be reduced and the links should be made prominent. The font colour should also be reviewed. How easy will it be to read on a mobile screen outside on a sunny day? Spacing of the display should also be looked at, to reduce vertical scroll down length. The search button should be below the input field not beside it, to eliminate the need for lateral scrolling. The page should be made as easy and fast as possible to use on the widest range of mobile devices. Trying to make a .tel site look like a website is a waste of time and resources, and patience is a virtue. Goodnight folks, Roy |

Everyone via Whois service can easily find which registrar we have and which telhosting we use, so that "manage" function change nothing. Quote: [/size]
