It may be that it's just a quirk of how your own user profile displays to you? But when I look at my own posts, they all have a "email" icon next to the "personal message" icon. When I hover over it, it shows my email address. And then if I look at my own user profile, that also lists my email address in plain text.

Looks like I'd have to find a image hosting site to share a screenshot of what things look like on my end. But if the email isn't showing up for anyone else, then it's no problem. Just a bit confusing to the user (why would I need to email myself?)

As far I can tell, users should not be able to see other users email addresses...

Do you have any evidence of that not being true?

Scribus forums / Forum settings - hide email
Last post by Lynn - January 26, 2026, 11:38:31 PM
I am sure there is a setting on this forum's user profile to not display your personal email address to everyone who opens the profile. However, I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction? I could not find it under Account Details, Forum Profile or Alerts.

Announcements and Forum Rules / Re: Scribus 1.7.2 released
Last post by Lynn - January 26, 2026, 11:25:08 PM
Thank you!

This might be a stupid question, but the wiki pages for these releases all point to the issue tracker website to see the changelog. In this case, the wiki points to https://bugs.scribus.net/changelog_page.php?version_id=131 When I try to open these pages they always say "No Change Log information available".

Do I need to make an account to be able to see the change log, or is it getting accidentally hidden?

General Discussion / Re: TOC functionality in 1.7.x
Last post by Lynn - January 26, 2026, 11:21:56 PM
I haven't tested it in 1.7x, but I did write a script for applying character styles to elements of a TOC this weekend for my personal use. Might be helpful if anyone else is running into the issue of wanting differently style titles/page numbers in the interim - https://github.com/notwhelmedyet/ScribusTypesetting/blob/main/NicheScripts/styleTOC.py.

Out of curiosity, I downloaded the appimage for 1.7.2 and I see this feature was indeed added on in the development branch! All the fields that are edited for the child style have a "revert" button available to swap them back to the default parent style setting.

Separate character styles for TOC text and page numbers would make a lot of sense and avoid visual imbalance. Checking or opening a ticket sounds like the right next step if this isn't tracked yet.

General Discussion / Site without a donation button
Last post by T.Roberto - January 25, 2026, 12:14:33 PM
Hi, I'm T.Roberto, a new member of the forum. I use Fedora, so I have all the open source apps. Every now and then I donate a little (a little, but a little goes a long way). I can't easily find how to donate on the Scribus.net site. I can't find any links or buttons. I'd like to suggest adding a dedicated section or button, like GIMP, Krita, etc. do. Thanks.

I can't find a way to "reset" only one setting to the inherited one, but re-selecting what style it inherits from seems to reset everything to the inherited values.

I tried for example clearing out the field, but it went back to the previously manually set value.

Last post by Lynn - January 24, 2026, 03:10:31 PM
I have some base "template" files I've made for book typesetting and I realized that at some point I went and manually set the font size for the "scene start" and "chapter start" styles, which really ought to be inheriting everything from the normal paragraph except it's indentation. I looked around and couldn't find anyway to un-customize them within the program.

Obviously I could re-associate them with the parent style (which would reset all the settings) and then set up the style again, but is there some other way within the program to tell Scribus "whoops, refer back to the parent style for this setting, ignore what I typed here?"

(What I'm actually doing to fix it is open the .sla files in notepad and remove the FONTSIZE="10.5" lines within the style description, but that's obviously a bit hacky)

(I use Scribus 1.5.8 usually, but I do have an appimage of 1.6.1 I use on occasion, if that makes a difference. I need to update Linux Mint so I can get a more recent scribus directly from the repo, been busy with other stuff)
