#Support

- @rahim123 reported an [issue with iframe embedding being broken](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/327852?silent=true) despite having an allowed src domain. After some troubleshooting, it was discovered that the problem was due to a missing forward slash in the allowed domain URL. @Moin noted this was likely due to a [recent security fix](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/327852/15?silent=true) that changed how domain URLs are validated.

- @cristo asked about [removing certain stats from the Home page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/327911?silent=true), specifically the number included in the sorting feature. @awesomerobot provided a solution by explaining how to edit the site’s translations to remove the count from the “latest” filter title.

- @kokmok discovered an [issue where a user couldn’t see avatars of people who liked posts](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/327893?silent=true). It was determined that this was due to the user’s DM settings, which were set to disallow messages from all users.

- @benjamin_bracken asked about [hiding Staff Notices from non-Staff members](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/327961?silent=true). While this isn’t a built-in feature, @Lilly suggested using CSS to hide the notices, though noting this method isn’t completely secure.

#Dev

- @Andrew15-5 proposed adding a [“fixed-width/monospace font in composer” setting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/327900?silent=true), similar to GitHub’s Markdown editor font preference. This would allow users to have a monospace font for the entire composer textarea.

#Bug

- @tomg reported that [SEO for their domain was being impacted](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/327841?silent=true) due to issues with schema markup. @RGJ identified some problems with the code and suggested corrections to improve the schema implementation.

#Integrations

- @perryflynn encountered an [issue with SSO logout](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/32974/152?silent=true) where users were still logged into Discourse after being redirected back to the app. @simon suggested this might be due to the “login required” setting automatically redirecting unauthenticated users.

#Sysadmins

- @Tealk asked about [initiating the renewal of Let’s Encrypt certificates](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/56685/146?silent=true) for multiple domains. The discussion touched on the automatic renewal process during rebuilds and troubleshooting steps for manual renewals.
