Case study: LinkedIn web site fails?

It's astounding how an important, established web site like LinkedIn could have such utterly crap design on its Groups page. Using "More" as a category is always an unfortunate design decision (although sometimes necessary), but on this page, LinkedIn uses the "More" category three times (as marked in red).


I belong to a lot of LinkedIn groups, and I only ever click one setting on the whole page (other than group links). That option is in the second "More" listing and it's "Settings"...
... and the only thing I ever do there is stop LinkedIn from its default behavior of sending me endless emails about discussions in the group.

The kicker: the third "More" (in this view) doesn't even do anything.
