push for minor fixes

About to do a small push to clean up a few bugs from the previous push. Only journal styles and the beta inbox should be affected.

Update: push is complete! Let us know if anything looks weirder than usual!

Of the sites you mentioned in that request, Instagram and TikTok embeds are not available to use on Dreamwidth because they use script tags. Our developers still need to look into why the Facebook embed code is not working. It should be whitelisted but it's possible that Facebook has changed their embed format to be different from what our whitelist allows.

I'm very sorry that this is frustrating for you. We have to individually whitelist each allowed embed site, and we can't allow embeds that use script tags because of security concerns.

No worries, another DW admin just suggested I file the request, saying that all of those sites “should” be embedable, but it seems that was not correct. Thank you for the info.

Yeah, sorry, that was me replying without looking up the details of how Instagram and Tiktok do their embeds -- most sites have a noscript version of embeds available but those ones don't, and I don't keep a list in my head of which ones we can't add for security reasons!
