Summary

Whilst there is a "message" included button within the standard user channel section (within the left side panel), the same function is lacking from the pro users channel section and whilst a user can search for the pro member from within the messenger faculty, from a accessibility view point, the lack of a "message" link (button or standard href) within the pro channel section makes it harder for users to directly message the pro member.

Possible fixes

Add a "message" link (button or href) to the pro channel section as a method of improving accessibility.

I could do with some more direction on where this messaging logo should be. Just down here?

We have a few issues around that bottom bar worth taking a look at. The username looks like it's showing the current user.

Just add a Message link to the left of the text tool bar, if user is subscribed to the channel, just like the message channel button

 <m-messenger--channel-button
      [user]="user"
      *ngIf="user.subscribed && session.getLoggedInUser().guid != user.guid"
    ></m-messenger--channel-button>

added scoped label and automatically removed label

I'm going to take a look at the username issue above when this is complete and determine if it needs splitting off into a new card or doing with this change.
