"... but got banned from posting further when trying to find out what was going on."

Wondering if there's a reason he was banned beyond the stated reason. Is this what a ban does? Doesn't allow you to log in?

This may be related to me not being able to sync my account here.

I saw in another topic someone was having some issues until they refreshed their network connection and got a new IP. On most connections that is just turning off the modem and router for about a minute and then turn them back on.

Usually if the basic solutions already mentioned have been tried, it's just Steam community derping. Try again later.

Same problem with my brother's account, he can log into Steam.

But on Steamgifts, clicking on 'Sign in through Steam' would lead him to the Steam community sign-in page, which shows he's already logged into Steam, and then clicking on the "Login" button there just takes him back to the Main Steamgifts Page, where he's not signed in.

Friend of mine has the same issue, and has been going on for at least half a year, meaning he can't use the site or enter my private giveaways at all. He logs into Steam just fine, but the login button on this site fucks up for him.

I assume there is some kind of a problem on the Steam side. Because when I try to sync my account on SG, I get the following error message:

Error: Steam not responding to request. Please try again.

No matter how often I retry to sync, I get this message over and over again. Anyone else?

Edit: Sync works again (for me).

I had this problem for the past couple hours but it just started working again =D

Ask him to try again, it should be fixed.

i had the same problem last night.

its working now.
