Matzav filter is blocking Rav Sternbuch's articles

I apologize if you can't see Rav Sternbuch's articles.  I am using an internet connection with a Matzav filter which unfortunately is blocking a number of sites which are needed to post pdf - as well as other valuable sites.

It could be that some of you can see the articles - but I can't

  1. Matzav cannot filter out anything for non-Matzav filter subscribers. So if you posted in to the blog, anyone off Matzav can see it.

  2. Perhaps Matzav is blocking any access to Scribd.

    But again, it will only affect people who have Matzav's internet filter.

    Why do you use Scribd anyways? It was much easier before you starting using Scribd. Just post it directly to the blog, without Scribed, like you used to.

  3. Do you see the two articles from Rav Sternbuch?

    The issue is that Matzav is blocking the sites that enable me to post pdf files

  4. My place of work, Touro College (NYC), filters out scribd among others. Sounds like you already have, but try Googling "host pdfs"

  5. actually Matzav filter claims that scribd is being blocked because of criminal skills!

    To post without scribd I need to convert the files to tiff or jpg

  6. "Do you see the two articles from Rav Sternbuch?"

    Yes. (So anyone [at least off Matzav] should be seeing them as well.)

  7. Didn't you use to post with tiff or jpeg? It was much easier to read the articles them. Scibd is very clunky for readers to use.

  10. It is worth the effort, imho, to post them as JPEG's every week. Makes it MUCH easier for readers to read them.

  11. DT: You'd have more readers for Rav Shternbuch's articles if you would always post them as a .jpg.
