sorry - no
my own experience is that occasionally quirky things happen - - like every so often a post I've made shows up again in the quick reply box at the bottom of the page
I probably use Tapatalk much more than I'm actually on my laptop, and the functionality differs with the app vs. the full web-based version.
One thing I've noticed (probably since the total reboot back in 2010 or whenever) is that the search function is far less user-friendly than it once was
sort of like what you're saying about being taken to a random thread - - at one time, when you'd search for something, you'd get the exact post where the search term appears - - now it seems you just get the thread, and then you have to use the "thread search" function to locate the specific terms you're interested in finding
so yeah...
