Hi and welcome to Thunkable!

It sounds like the `if` condition is not returning true. Thunkable blocks don’t just “do nothing.” So when the `if` condition returns true, it will navigate to a different screen.

So the question to solve here is: why does the `if` condition not return a value of true?

See this topic for some suggestions you can try instead of the `is empty` block: [Is the TextInput Empty?](https://community.thunkable.com/t/is-the-textinput-empty/384509)
