Testing a link-hack for the app

OK, so @DHawks and I were chatting about how any link in the app tends to point out to a browser, even when it's a link to a 7 cups resource.

I was wondering if that would still be true for "relative" links, so I am going to try including one in this post and then we can all see if accessing such a link in the app still goes out to a browser or stays in the app.

Something like... oh, hey, I just noticed that people are talking about Noni, and how to make her work better in the forums.

ok... here goes nothin'

@Krinkthemellowunicorn, works great on my Android and my iPad.

Yay for relative links!

ok, so since it worked, let me explain what I did (and I didn't mean to use a listener's-only forum link - my bad!):

where normally I'd use the link button and insert the full URL of the forum thread - https://www.7cups.com/forum/Welcome_27/KrinksStudio_542/Asknotwhat7Cupscandoforyou_27419/ - to make a link like this one, instead I left off the protocol (https://) and the domain part of the url (www.7cups.com) and instead just used the relative link starting from the first slash after dot com to the end - /forum/Welcome_27/KrinksStudio_542/Asknotwhat7Cupscandoforyou_27419/ - to make a link like this one.

If you're on the app and click the first link above it will open a browser but if you click the second it should stay in the app.
