Suggestion: link to mobile app content instead of web app content if possible

Clicking on a BP post link from another post will open that as a web page request to the BP web app instead of the BP mobile app. This is kind of weird (and annoying?) for the post reader. It would be better if the mobile app could be a little smarter about keeping the user within the mobile app context when clicking on a link to another BP post, even if that link is initially directed at the web app. Maybe this is something the mobile app can "fix" during a post composition or post editing flow by analyzing the link as the post is being read and accepted by the system. If it is determined to point to another BP post, then translate to an internal linking uri that the mobile app will understand. Maybe it is implemented as a special WIKI tag, depending on what underlying authoring language BP uses when persisting a user post. Useful?

Great suggestion!! It annoys the crap out of me when I click on a link and it opens a browser instead of working natively within the app. I added this to our app's internal feature list, thanks!!

Also would be nice if you could remove irrelevant sections from app. I'm having bypass and don't need or want to see the other types of surgery forums.

Future app updates will respect forum permissions and only show you forums you're supposed to see.

Thanks for the suggestions!
