Dear Discourse community,

We used to have a chat button on our user cards under `/u`. But now they are gone. I am wondering why? Can you help me please?

## Why display: none for Admins?

For Admins the “usercard-controls” are set to `display: none`. I could fix that with CCS. So that is not the big problem.

## Button not in DOM for normal users

However, for normal users, the element of the button does not even get into the DOM. That is a problem? How can I show it again?

 ![The image shows a web development interface with an embedded code editor on the left and a CSS code section on the right, both featuring circular icons and labeled as "testuser-4" (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/f/f/0/ff01a05dd7d8107c5f5a85116f872f01d26cb56d.jpeg)

## What we need for all:

Basically, what I am looking for are these buttons but for all users, not only Admins. See example below:

## Settings

- I set `Chat allowed groups` to TL 1
- I removed all of my CSS but it had no effect.

## Please ❤

If you have any idea, let me know.
