I have the same thing with chrome, when you do a reflesh you see that is trying to connect to random url and jumps to waiting to connect to ad.doubleclick.net then it becomes blank.

I suppose the problem is more related with advertising management of Linkedin.. in fact when it happen it always lands on advertising banner.
Then i have to reload the page and press faster (message or add function) or it automatically try to reload the ads.
It happen to me frequently looking on people profile.
Please fix it!

Hi everyone,

We cannot reproduce this problem at LinkedIn. We have quite a few people using Chrome, and we can't find any issues like this.

It does look like it's an Ads-related problem, but it may be related to a specific campaign. We're still investigating.

If you find clues, please email support@linkedin.com with them.

Adam i sent you a mail with a snapshot of the chrome page after the error and the source page and the probable block that generate the error inside the google adsense part.
I hope this helps

yes, i think is AD related... if i surf LinkedIn with a service like Hydemyass.com or other free web proxy, advertising is stopped, and i can surf without problems...

I find that the http:// links don't work, but if I cahnge them to https:// links then they do. In other words Chrome works on the secure sites only - the internal Linked-in guys probably don't have this problem as they are inside and not outside like us. Try it? Judi

I have had this problem for months, actually, and always need to open a different browser specifically for LinkedIn. Considering it's probably related to the bottom ad, maybe it's of use to know that I'm in the Netherlands, as I'm sure the ad campaigns are localized. I would prefer not to have to resort to ad-blocking by DNS. It's unfortunate that ads are breaking your usability!

ad are localized i think, but i have same problem in Italy... i don't think problem is country related... who know :D

I am having the exact same problem as above mentioned. I haven't found a workaround for it actually, but as said before: it probably has anything to do with the ads. When I use the Google Chrome developer tools, I can see that when the Javascript-file GetRcmd.js (http://rc.wl.webads.nl/Get/WebAds/JS/GetRcmd.js?d=82128036394715) is being loaded, the fun starts. After it's loaded there is a 'gap' between the execution time of the scripts used by LinkedIn. Although GetRcmd.js is a very small file, it seems to have quite a big influence on the system.

Here's a screenshot of Google Chrome's Developer Tools -> Resources which should make more clear what I am seeing:


And my browser configuration:
Google Chrome: 4.0.203.2 (Official Build 24690)
WebKit: 532.0
V8: 1.3.8
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.0 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.203.2 Safari/532.0

BTW: I've found out that this problem not only appears when using Google Chrome. SRWare Iron, which is also build around the Webkit-engine seems to create the same problem. Same happened in Chromium. Only webkit-browser that didn't reproduce this problem is Safari (4.0.2 running on Webkit 530.19.1).

I hope this will help solving this problem. Perhaps it'll disappear after Webkit gets updated, but still only LinkedIn's javascript seem to trigger this bug.

I get to the login page - but cannot login with chrome. BTW I see "google analytics" in bottom left corner when trying to login to linked-in.

I've the same problem on MAC OS X too, using both Chrom and Safari (4.0.3)

I'm also browsing from Italy. The issue seems related to the advertising stuff, disabling javascript solve the problem, but is very annoying...

Please fix it, we can provide further feedback and testing if needed.

I've got the same problem here and I'm pretty sure the banners are to blame. I'm also from the Netherlands, so I guess a specific script is the blame for those blank screens.
I found a workaround: by pressing 'esc' as soon as the first html is visible (but before the add-script kicks in) prevents the script from corrupting the page.

i'm now in Kazakhstan... and here i have no problem... maybe is region related like someone told...

It seems like the problems have resolved itself. I can now use LinkedIn with Google Chrome without any problems.

New version of Chrome works fine... they fixed! NICE

Not for me.
Chrome: 3.0.195.21

Still here. The problem is related to WebKit-based browsers, and country-dependend, in Italy still the same.

Well, at least it did work yesterday. Now it seems like I'm having the same problem again. Anything changed in the ads? Is LinkedIn actually going to try to solve this problem?

guys.. i don't know.. now with Chrome 3.0.195.21 works good for me... I don't know how something like that is possible... it's not geo-related (same error from Italy and Kazakhstan), it's not browser-version related...who knows... for now i'm good, but nothing ensure me that tomorrow will be ok again...

I have a solution: disable the popup blocker. I have a dutch version so the labeling may be just wrong:
1. tools\options
2. Under the hood or Advanced options
3. change proxy settings
4. privacy
5. uncheck "Turn on pop-up blocker"
Did the trick for me

Still amazing that this hasn't been fixed...

Did not do it for me. I still have the same problem with Google Chrome 3.0.195.21 (in the Netherlands).

I am unable to update my profile- which needs major work! I'm cookie recognised and logged in automatically, but everytime I go to edit my profile and save chnages it LinkedIn times out and I get an error page.

same problem for me
Using: Chrome: 3.0.195.21 from italy

Hi everyone,

We are still having significant problems reproducing this issue. It seems to be geography related, but it doesn't reproduce based on user account. We believe it may be related to specific advertisements, but we've found no smoking gun yet. Approximately 4% of our users are on Chrome, so we really do want to identify this issue.

As a reminder, posting here on GetSatisfaction actually doesn't help us tremendously because we don't have the information about your user account. If you post here, please include your public profile URL.

Better yet, if everyone here submitted their problem through the customer service form on LinkedIn, it would significantly help our efforts. (I realize this might mean loading LinkedIn on a different browser given the issues being reported with Chrome).

I am also having this problem browsing with Safari 3 from the Netherlands. Trying to access my profile and LinkedIn redirects to an empty page with only an advert for LinkedIn Applications.

Have tried it with and without the "Block Popup Windows" and it doesn't make a difference.

I have the "Glims" Safari plugin installed. Don't know if that's related, but maybe helps you reproduce it.

This has been a problem for a couple of months now.

Guyz... for me problem is solved... I surf on LinkedIN with Chrome from 3 differend country, and it's working good

fixed for me too.

Luca, good that your problem is solved, but how? I've tried fransverschoor's suggestion, but without success.

jvanstolk, i don't know HOW... i think they changed something to fix it... another possibility is for some Chrome update.. try to check if you have the last version....

Hi Luca, I've got version 3.0.195.33 which seems to be the latest. Did you update your version and/or did you uncheck "Turn on pop-up blocker" as suggested earlier? Thanks, John
