I also had that problem yesterday at [User Card Directory: message button should not show on mobile - #5 by Moin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-card-directory-message-button-should-not-show-on-mobile/311878/5). I wasn’t able to figure out why the link did not work:

> [@User Card Directory: message button should not show on mobile](https://meta.discourse.org/t/user-card-directory-message-button-should-not-show-on-mobile/311878/5):

So, in the end, I removed the `<br>`. And now I was able to add it again because you told me that all I needed to fix it was an empty line. Thanks.
