Steam profile link button broken in PM's.

[Sokoloft]

Hello!

I've linked my steam account to my RD account. However upon clicking the button in PM's it gives the following error. I'm thinking it's because the URL is /profiles/ and not /id/.

Thanks for adding the Save Games section to the MSC downloads forum! Have a good one!

Not just PM's, suppose it's the buttons to the right of my name. Didn't notice it was on posts as well. Cya!

Hmm, so Steam have both "id" and "profiles" in user page URLs now? (If so, how thoughtful of them! Bit like Youtube...)
We can probably adapt to it, though it's a wee bit faffy. Is this a new thing?

Not a new thing @Neilski Its one of the many reasons I haven't added steam into my profile. It just wont work.

 

[Neilski]

OK, will see what I can do when I get a few minutes

You just need to put your steamid not profile name in the box. The 64bit number version usually starting 765xxxxxxxxxx. If you don't know it you can find it with this tool: https://steamid.io/

Brilliant. All done!

I've added additional instructions to the entry field to clarify for users in the future.

OK, I decided to tweak the template so that any purely numeric entries [edit: of roughly the right length] are treated as 64-bit Steam IDs and everything else is treated as a custom URL ID.
So you should now be able to use just "Sokoloft" and it should work OK. Please give it a go
(When I had a look at all existing Steam IDs in our system, only 20% of them were of the 64-bit flavour, with the rest being custom IDs...)
