<p>I see the character for evening are wan3 and shang4, but when the word is written in pinyin, the fourth tone disappears from shang and it becomes neutral. I've read the rules of tone change but I don't see anything about this. I see similar things happening on many words. What's going on?</p>

I don't see anything wrong with wan3shang4. It doesn't need to be neutral. This is just an accent issue.
