I'm not sure what you're talking about, eschwartz, or who you're even talking to, but to make it clear for my part, there is no "jumping around from thread to thread" from me. Please consult the opening post of this thread: it's the release notes for Marvin 3.0.6, claiming to have "fixed page numbers". I reacted with exactly 5 lines of text, as brief as I could make them, pointing out that page numbers in Marvin are anything but fixed. I also took the trouble to post specific links to threads where this same issue was discussed earlier, so that it doesn't have to be discussed here, too.

But you couldn't let it go, could you? You, Turtle et al. had to go berserk over this once again.

Also, since when have you been promoted to the role of a MobileRead moderator, given that you feel you can constantly berate other MobileRead users?

As I said many times, the only reasonable way to discuss software issues is by strictly observing the "1 thread per issue" principle. I – not you – am the one who's been demanding that in these forums, and for years, but to no avail. That is why I've been advocating for Marvin's GitHub, because that crucial "1 thread per issue" principle can be more easily observed there. Here in MobileRead forums, due to the generic forum software, it's far more difficult or impossible. If this Marvin forum had real moderators instead of folks who simply enjoy snapping at fellow users, then the moderators would have long ago merged any duplicate threads dealing with page-counts or other frequently discussed Marvin issues.
