How to add your Steam Profile to your profile on the forums

Recommended Posts

How to add your Steam Profile to your profile on the forums:

  • Click on your name in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

  • Click on "My Profile".

  • Click "Edit my Profile" towards the upper right-hand side of the page.

  • In the section labeled "Contact Methods" you should see a field labeled "Steam Profile".

    There are two things that could go in this field:

    • SteamID64:  (this is part of the URL for your steam profile)

        For example, my profile URL is "http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198099652839", so mine would be: 76561198099652839

    •  Custom URL:  (if you have set up a custom URL)

      For example, my custom URL is "http://steamcommunity.com/id/dracco1993", so mine would be: dracco1993

      ​If you are having trouble finding either your SteamID64 or your Custom URL:

           1.  Go to http://steamrep.com/.

           2.  Sign in through Steam using the button in the upper right-hand of the page.

           3.  Click "Yes, Sign In".

           4.  Once you have signed in, click your profile picture in the upper right-hand corner.

           5.  Both your SteamID64 and your Custom URL (if you have set one up) are listed on this page.

  • After you have put in your corresponding SteamID64 or Custom URL name, click "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.

  • Go back to your forums profile page.  On the right-hand side you should see a "Steam Profile" section.  Click "Options" -> "Update" to force update your new profile.

    Note: While this does force your profile to be updated, it may still take a few minutes (or longer) for this change to actually be displayed.  Don't freak out if it doesn't work right away.  Come back in a little while and check.  If it still hasn't worked after waiting a few minutes, then post below and someone will do their best to help you.

  • Congratulations, you have linked your Steam Profile to your profile on the forums.  People will now be able to see information linked to your Steam account in the following places:
    • Next to all of your posts:

OK, here's what to do, if you've got a steam profile, of course. 

 

Go to http://steamrep.com, sign into steam through that.

Once you've done that, click on your picture to the right of the page.

On the next page, there should be a 17-digit number in the search bar (should look a bit like "76561197995407878", which is mine)

Copy this number, and paste it into the Steam Profile section in Contact Methods when editing your profile.

Save it, wait a bit and your accounts should be linked!

It takes like an hour for it to be set up. Steam is extremely slow when it comes to this...

Nope.

On your forum profile appears the empty Steam Profile thing once you added your steam id or steamid64 in your profile settings. Now click options and "Update". Should be there immediantly.

It can take some time for the forums to update/load in your Steam account correctly.

Just be patient, it will work.  smile.png

  • Finding your SteamID64 or Custom URL

Staff might wanna clear the trash out of here soon :>

Pretty sure they've got better things to do. The OP is the important bit anyway, the rest is just requests for updates, which have now been included.

It would be good to at least get rid of the quoted OP from before.  ph34r.png 
It takes up a bunch of space, and is outdated.  wink.png

 

But yes, I don't there there's a reason to remove everything.
