Can no longer send messages to group members on Linkedin?

[Johnny Kurtis]

Hey, until yesterday I could send messages, up to 12 in linkedin message.

This is what's happening now, it says "no longer authorized to message user"

Any updates on this?Screen%20Shot%202013-12-12%20at%201.05.54%20PM.pngScreen%20Shot%202013-12-12%20at%201.06.05%20PM.png

Can anyone help me figure a work around to this?

Yes, it seems like this is broken. That's too bad!

[Johnny Kurtis]

Any way to work around it?

@Irina, the link you sent doesn't show how to bulk message group members.. is there something I'm missing?

[Irina Shamaeva]

Oh, sorry, my mistake.. it addresses a different issue. Actually I do not know how to send bulk messages.

[Irina Shamaeva]

Unfortunately, LinkedIn is discontinuing free messaging between group members starting on January 13, 2014.

Does this apply to members who have paid accounts as well?

[Johnny Kurtis]

There is a way around this.. you can send individual messages to the person within the group.. but the bulk messaging capabilities is no longer available.. 

[Cathy Mannis]

So we can still send individual messages to people within the group?  

[Aamir Shaikh]

Yes, we can send message to individual person within group. its just the bulk messages system is not working anymore.
