    Over the last couple days I have silently installed a few plugins to link our new community with Steam. The first is the ability to associate your Steam Identity similar to what is available for Facebook, Twitter, AIM, etc.

    To access this go to: Profile -> Contact Details-> Identities and check Steam then click the +. Enter any of the three types of Steam Identifiers (ID, Community ID, or full URL).

    In addition to this I've implemented a Sign in with Steam. If you are new to our forms and want to import your avatar, identity, and username from Steam with no hassle this is the way to go. If you already have an account on our forums you can still use this method to link your Steam account (avatar & identity) to the profile.

    If you have any questions or errors come up please feel free to post below.

    I registered via Steam easily. However, it doesn't seem to keep me logged in between browser sessions. This may be by design, or an issue with Opera, but I figured I'd mention it. (=

    It's a nice functionality, but "sign in with X" features give me the goddamn creeps.

    If you were Luitjens on the old forum (Vanilla) your user was imported over and instead of creating an account with Sign in with Steam you should have linked it to that account that was already created.

    Steam Sign-up kept giving me an error. The error occurs AFTER I had logged in through the official 'log in with steam page' and back on these forums where it asked for my birthdate and my gender.

    The local sign-up worked fine for me.

    Excuse me for being a bit daft here, but I can't figure out how to link my forum account with my Steam account, so as to import my avatar and everything.

    I've put in the URL to my Steam community page (http://steamcommunity.com/id/skafsgaard), but nothing came out of it. I figure I need to take another step to make the actual link, but I can't figure out where or how.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Appreciate it.

    It looks like it may not be you but in fact that the plugin changed a bit with our upgrade to XenForo 1.1. I'm going to go ahead and upgrade the plugin to see if that fixes it.

    Looks like the plug-in is broken for the moment. I'm sadly going to disable it until I'm sure it is working 100%. Sorry for the hassle.
