I have great respect for the zeitgeist represented by the pool of experts and talent who are members of LinkedIn.

Here is a collection of errors and inconsistencies collected from LinkedIn.

Question clarification resets date in list view

"2 days ago"

same question which I answered 11 days ago (but clarification added 2 days ago)

There was an unexpected problem that prevented us from completing your request

Messages on the home page does not include "Mark Read"
