Thank you TMK. :heart:

I could not find any deals to post today and saw something that made me laugh so I posted it as a deal just for the heck of it. I mean I had already wasted a hour looking for a deal to post and I wanted to post someting. Plus, my BIL was looking for one of these and he said they were getting hard to find. If he wanted one maybe someone else did.




It was more of a JOKE (http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?p=3182755#post3182755)but now it is OOS! ROTFLMAO I guess someone out there needed it. I hope it at least made a few people laugh. :lol:

Hi un07627,

If you are trying to manually type out a hyperlink it needs to be like this:

[URL="type the address here"]type hyperlink here (http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=276158)

so your quote would be LINK (http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=276158) LINK (http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=276158)

You do not need to change the text color to blue (it will change to blue automatically)

but if you wanted to change the color would be:
