Traditional PDF problems?

Hi all ~

Anybody else having trouble getting Traditional PDFs w/the RSS feed and iTunes after the website rebuild?

I finally tracked down the download/RSS feed options hidden behind the tiny RSS icon located after "My Lessons" at the bottom of the page (might I suggest placing that link in a few more obvious locations? It's not under "Help," and the links that are there there don't work to customize anything).

However, the checkbox for Traditional PDFs seems to keep unchecking itself. Are they no longer offered? Simplified PDFs come through just fine.

An unrelated issue - I tried removing & re-bookmarking podcasts I'd already downloaded to figure out the PDF issue, but now iTunes refuses to re-dowload the whole lesson. Any help???

Xiexie,

...fixed the last issue by unsubscribing & resubscribing, but still no traditional PDFs.

Also, the Firefox plug-in doesn't seem to do anything for me. Still just traditional.

 

...Otherwise a huge fan so far & love it! Hoping I can get through enough before heading to Taipei in a month!!

sjhz97, here's a workaround suggested by others.  First, pull up the regular (i.e. simplified) PDF.  Then insert "trad" at the end of the file name just before the ".PDF" extension (e.g. chinesepod_D0905.pdf becomes chinesepod_D0905trad.pdf) and hit return.

Actually, I found this tip pretty useful because it lets you pull up traditional PDF's for lessons not in your current feed
