How To Set Your Steam Profile Link Correctly? Options

[qoLmE]

Hi there,

This might be a noob question but I seem to not be able to correctly set my Steam profile URL inside my profile settings.

When I copy the link of my Steam profile, which is the steamID64 ( https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197990716275 ), the site automatically transforms it into https://steamcommunity.com/id/https://steam...561197990716275

So the forum puts "https://steamcommunity.com/id/" in front of whatever you type in that box.
I also tried using my steam3ID & steamID32 without succes.

Can't for the life of me figure out any link that starts with "https://steamcommunity.com/id/" that would lead to my Steam profile...
Am I really being daft or is this site not up to date with possibly renewed URL structure of Steam profiles?

Here’s how to do it:

• Open Steam and log in.
• Click your username at the top-right and choose “View My Profile.”
• Hit the “Edit Profile” button.
• In the left menu, go to the “General” section.
• You’ll see a field labeled “Custom URL.”
• Type in your desired username or handle — for example, proplayer2025.
• Once you save, your new Steam link will look like this:
• https://steamcommunity.com/id/proplayer2025

Thanks for the response but I wasn't looking for detailed instructions on how to set a custom Steam URL.

If you've read all the posts in this thread you would have seen that there's a problem with the site's profile setup when entering a non-custom Steam profile link in the box.
As long as the forum automatically puts "https://steamcommunity.com/id/" in front of it, original Steam URL's ( those with a big number ) will never work since they never contain "id".

Yeah the second part about the "rice ritual" or whatever that was, is what made me a little suspicious. I have the feeling this AI thing era is gonna do more harm than it is going to be beneficial.

I've seen you've edited that post again ( yesterday I think you've kept the text after the instructions but only changed the link to community.17buddies.rocks ). Now you've decided to only keep the instructions as at least the provided information, as far as I know, is indeed correct.

I think your right but I cant see it going away, I use chatgpt instead of google now but I find its often wrong or outdated info but still quicker than google which is useless now.
