Is the Export Link on LinkedIn Groups is Gone.
I just noticed that the Export Link on LinkedIn Groups is Gone. Managers now have no way of getting at this functionality. I found the URL to use from my history, it's:
http://www.linkedin.com/groupMembersE...
but it doesn't work, I just takes me back to my LinkedIn Home page.... I assume this is another way to limit people/groups from using competing sites with their groups, I just last week exported the list and invited members to join a yahoo discussion group, since LinkedIn doesn't provide this functionality, I've been doing my groups as a mix of both LinkedIn+Yahoo which I think works well. apparently they didn't think so. or perhaps they got complaints from people I invited or something and felt this was the best way to limit the behavior. but you can still cut-n-paste the member list one page at a time to get the info...
any comments? LinkedIn, is this a temporary thing? is the functionality coming back? why did you remove this?

Inappropriate?Ben, we identified a bug with the Group Member Export function last week and needed to take it offline while we fix it. We expect the fix to be implemented and functionality restored by Friday, June 6th.

Hi Steve.....if you are there please help us http://gsfn.us/t/kd3 -
Inappropriate?Well, it's broken still / again :-(
I’m AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
-
Inappropriate?Oh, yea, we also need the export feature to merge duplicate groups, and preapprove all the old members in the new group. I'm not about to manually time in the 200 members, are you?

Inappropriate?The feature has been removed. Argh!
In order to respect group members' email privacy more completely, exporting a list of group members and their emails addresses is no longer enabled.

Inappropriate?This is a major pain and seems more like paranoia from LinkedIn than a privacy issue for users.
