Frustrated 5 Nov 15

With an awesome name like that perhaps APAC Linked In can now fix their New Messaging Experience which adds up to a much reduced service including Cannot Read past Messages, Cannot See Message Replies, Cannot Pick LI Members from the left-Hand Rail, etc etc – as it’s been over 2 maybe 3 weeks now…

(With apologies for using this as a platform as I’m wondering if anyone else out there has had this dud service experience?)
