Hi Chinese Pod,  I am wondering about four lessons that are missing from your archive. Lessons number 2603, 2571, 2569 and 2450 don't seem to be there.

I know some old lessons were deleted for being below standard, but that surely wouldn't be the case with lessons this recent. Is it possible that these were lessons that were supposed to be released when you had issues with lesson delivery, and forgot to release them when the issue was fixed?

Also wondering why there has been only one Advanced lesson in the last 3 months?

Hi there. Sorry about that. Looks like you are correct. Here is 2603 and 2450. 2571 just doesn't exit on the publishing system, and i'm working out why 2569 doesn't want to push on to the website.

Sorry that we haven't published an advanced lesson for a while. We have an advanced script ready to go and will have it published on Friday. Thereafter they will be much more regular.

Thanks for that. I'm going to add another comment after this one so that users will know from the Conversations page that there are two 'new' lessons available.

I'll keep you updated as to when I can publish 2569 on the site.

Here is the link just in case: https://chinesepod.com/lessons/subscribing-to-vogue

We still have a little glitch with our search indexing for recent lessons, so it doesn't show in the search results just yet (That's why I've given you the URL and hyperlinks). I'll let you know when search is fully functioning.

Here is lesson 2569. "Subscribing to Vogue: Int".  The problem was that it shared a name, and hence URL with a previousoly published lesson from 2010 and got stuck in our system.

Thanks for that Gwilym.

Have you thought of adding the lesson number to the URL in future so that this issue doesn't arise again?

I'll put that question to Armel since it makes a lot of sense. It just goes to shows how large a library we have when you end up with two lessons with the same URL slug! (Although I think it's only ever happened twice). We need to start getting creative with our lesson titles from now one ;-)

This has yet to be released. It is scheduled for Thursday and will be an upper intermediate lesson.
