Sorry, but I've not made this up:

"Full profiles for 3rd-degree connections are available only to premium account holders."

Here is a screenshot: http://booleanblackbelt.com/2012/09/full-profiles-of-3rd-deg...

Yes, this was true for several years. As of January 2015, 3rd degree is visible again.

Though if you're willing to jump through some hoops, all profiles are visible.

I missed that. Thanks for the info. Do you have any link to some authoritative source about this change (I've been unable to find one)?
