I happened across a bug in a specific threadmark in the Beware of Chicken thread, specifically for Vol 7 chapter 8. When you hit the next button on the previous threadmark for chapter 7, it works correctly, but when you open the actual threadmark menu the link does not.

Working link from the chapter 7 post: https://forum.questionablequesting....chicken-xianxia.13790/page-1435#post-11789251

Not working link from the menu: https://forum.questionablequesting....chicken-xianxia.13790/page-1436#post-11789251

As shown the actual post number is identical between them, but for some reason the threadmark menu has it on the next page. I don't know if it's because it is the last post on page 1435, or if it's a case of a post(s) getting deleted and messing up the count somehow (because I know that or something similar was an issue in Xenforo at one point) but it's the only time I've ever seen something like it in the XF ecosystem.

Having large numbers of threadmarks deleted (as Beware of Chicken does, due to having taken down the earlier books for Amazon reasons) causes the threadmarks addon to act erratically.
 
I knew that, but I dismissed that as a possibility for this specifically because to my recollection the latest removal occurred before the current volume had even started. If it happened after a removal for volume publication, fair enough, and maybe I'm just misremembering when it happened but I could have sworn it wasn't that.
 
So the threadmarks menu no longer shows the page number on the threadmark links
