Sorry, my mistake, I assumed when you said "remove the link" you meant 
the text as well.


<tip type="diagnosing problems with your work">
If you get a report of a problem with a site you're working on, make 
sure to use the same browser as the user who reported the problem (if 
possible) when you try to replicate it or you may not be seeing the same 
thing they are seeing. Same goes for other variables, such as whether 
the user is logged in or not, if they have javascript disabled, etc, etc.

This is one of those "it should be obvious, but sometimes we get used to 
doing things a certain way and just forget" types of tips :) (I don't 
know how many times I've thought to myself, "hey, maybe I should be 
checking this out in IE...")
