Cannot post a recommendation
When I try to create a recommendation for a contact either from my profile, his profile or from his recommendation request in my inbox, I either get the error "There was an unexpected problem that prevented us from completing your request" or "The recommendation was not found" (when in the latter case I have not gotten to the point where I can type in the recommendation.

Inappropriate?Hi CD
We at Linkedin are aware of this issue, and it was a tricky one because it happened sporadically, was unreproducible and occurred only when the moon was 3/4 full. But eventually we tracked the bug down in its lair, we've got a fix underway, and all should be sorted out by Monday.
I hope you post that recommendation then, as getting a recommendation can make someone's entire week! Nothing feels better than ghearing you are appreciated, and I know it's work to write one. I'm sorry your generous act of graciousness was interrupted.
Let us know if you have any further problems!
I’m looking forward to everything getting all better!

Inappropriate?CD, if possible, please try this again on Friday and let us know if it still isn't working for you. It has been a difficult case for us to reproduce reliably.
I’m hoping we have this problem fixed...
-
Inappropriate?Thank you for the prompt reply. I will try again on Friday / Monday. I can appreciate what you're saying about the error being difficult to reproduce. Unfortunately I seem to get the error every time, from multiple computers here.
I’m undecided
-
Inappropriate?We haven't been able to get anyone here to successfully reproduce the problem; that doesn't make it any less real. Can you write me at cwodtke at linkedin dot com and we'll see if there is something special about your account situation?
I’m perplexed.
-
Inappropriate?Same here :-) Everytime. I invited a colleague to sign up and he cannot recommend either.
-
Inappropriate?Hey docwalker; do try again friday or monday and let us know if it works... and you can write me if it doesn't and we can debug further. thanks!
I’m thinking a fix is on the way!
-
Inappropriate?Sure, no problem. I understand how bug fix releases work. Hopefully we can get it squashed. Let me know if you need my account to test with.
-
Inappropriate?Thanks, all! I hope not to ask your help Monday, but if I have to it's great to know you're will to lend a hand.
I’m happy Linkedin has such awesome users.

Inappropriate?Hi all! I have been on the receiving end of this problem. More than 8 of my contacts have tried to write recommendations, multiple times, and they continue to get the error. Perhaps this will help the LinkedIn folks, but I can post recommendations and the same people who have tried posting for me, can post recommendations for others, so it seems the bug is on my end just for recommending me. Several of the people have also tried to not use the request I sent and instead go to my profile and voluntarily write the recommendation and they get the same error both ways. This has happended several times over the last three or four weeks and as recent as two days ago. I am really looking forward to a fix as I am looking for a new job and the recommendations are great to have in my position! My linked in site is below in case that is helpful for the staff at LinkedIn.
Good luck to all!

Inappropriate?It is a continuing problem first noticed about 3 weeks ago. It seems LI is VERY asleep at the switch...
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?It worked for me today. Thank you.
I’m OK now but still a bit annoyed we had this problem in the first place.
-
Inappropriate?Mine is finely fixed as well! Thanks LinkedIn for getting this fixed!!!!
I’m so happy this is finally resolved!
-
Inappropriate?I have the same problem when attempting to recommend a business partner. I have tried to post yesterday and today to no avail.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?I have been having this problem with several people.
-
Inappropriate?I also have the same problem. I could recommend left and right but when some1 recommends me, they get an error. Could you get this fixed? I also have a recommendation that got through but I couldnt get to approve it. The error "There was an unexpected problem that prevented us from completing your request." was all that was displayed
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?I also get same error - 'There was an unexpected problem that prevented us from completing your request' when i click on 'manage recommendation'. Also the recommendation request which I sent was not really sent when I try to request again it says there is already a pending request which I dont see in the 'Sent' recommendation page...can someone pls check and advise asap.
Thanks -
Inappropriate?Same issue here. Mine has been going on over the last two months, with no help from Linkedin, despite numerous requests. The last complaint on this matter was from Vela, a month ago....with no replies from Linkedin since. I've also seen other threads on this issue in other forums -- all unresolved.
I've gone through all the appropriate channels with customer service, and I'm not prepared to wait much longer. Though I don't expect much results, my next step is to contact the Better Business Bureau to lodge a serious complaint.
