Why is it that with some messenger conversations, you can click on the person's name to directly access their profile, and with some you can't?

I've noticed this... there are some conversations I have with people on Facebook Messenger where their name is a hyperlink, and I can click it and access their profiles.

With other friends, I can't - their name isn't a hyperlink. I can still access their profiles, but I have to do it manually by typing their name into the search bar.

Would anyone happen to know why there's a difference there? Not that it particularly matters, I'm just curious.

I think friendship losses spiral in quite a destructive way

Over the last couple of years, I've lost quite a lot of people. Thankfully, most of them aren't really people I was ever that close to... but one of them was, and another was someone I've known for a really exceptionally long time, and they naturally had quite an impact on my mental health.

I've never had problems making or maintaining friendships in the past, so it's been quite a shock for this to suddenly happen so many times in quick succession, and I'm not really sure how to deal with it. But I think it having happened a few times is causing it to continue happening as like a domino effect. I'm not quite sure what the first trigger point was, but I feel like having lost a few people is causing me to panic about losing more people, making me a bit more clingy and intense in the way I handle them, and ironically driving them away faster. It's such a hard thing to climb out of.

It's causing me to be really sad and lonely. Thankfully I do have a few people in my life who I'm pretty sure will never desert me no matter what, so I'm just holding on to that, but it's had such a detrimental effect on my self-esteem. I've always tried to be a really kind and committed person who's there for people when they need someone, and when it's me that needs someone and my mental health has been really bad, it's felt like quite a lot of the people who I've tried to be there for don't really care. It's so hurtful.

How many people here have known someone personally on the show?

I'm in the slightly bizarre situation of having two people on the upcoming series of UK Celebrity Traitors that I know - one who I used to go to school with, and one who I got talking to at a funeral of a mutual friend a couple of years ago.

It's quite weird to get my head around... it's surely strange enough to know one person on one of these shows, let alone two on the same series, let alone two on a celebrity edition. So I wondered if anyone else has had anything like that?

I think HHM could have kept Mesa Verde if Chuck had handled the situation differently

Obviously, HHM lost Mesa Verde because Jimmy intentionally sabotaged Chuck's documents. He made it appear that the address was wrong, which caused approval for the planning permission to be severely delayed.

But I think the thing that really rubbed Kevin and Paige up the wrong way was when Chuck snapped at them in court, 'You are wrong, and with respect you are muddying the waters'. Chuck seemed to think it was more likely that Kevin had forgotten the address of his own business than that he'd messed something up. There's an arrogance about that that demonstrated that he'd be difficult to work with. You don't argue with a client about something as basic as that, no matter how certain you are you've got it right.

Kevin was a bit abrasive, but he wasn't that unreasonable. There were a few times Kim let them down and he generally let it slide and continued to want to work with her. If Chuck had just said at the time, 'I'm so sorry, I genuinely have no idea how this error has happened, we take full responsibility' I think he could have saved their relationship. And then, it would have been easier to prove Jimmy's part in the whole affair.

Jimmy may have been the catalyst, but Chuck lost it himself.
