Sync: Tired of the "Public profile" shuffle, why can't I just add you as a friend?

That answers that.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Whenever I want to sync manually (because of new game I've got and want them filtered automatically or joined a new group) I often have to try multiple times before it actually works. Can very well be due to steamcommunity of course but it's still annoying. Not much that can be done on SG's side of course of it'S the community acting up.

not if your Steam profile isn't public though, which a lot of people's aren't. I have mine set to "Users Only", and the setting is only that lax because I've been doing some trading, otherwise it would be "Friends Only".

Every few days I have to switch my profile to public, resync, and then set my profile back to "friends only".

Thanks to a crazy ex, I do not feel comfortable leaving the profile public.

It's a minor annoyance, but still an annoyance.

I know it's a simple thing, but I was trying to find a technical solution to a minor irritant.

Having your access to the site blocked (including forums, messages, and "did I win" checking) because your profile is private is a bit excessive in my opinion.

Additionally, there are times when I would like to look at this site without having to log into steam and make changes (like when I have 2 minutes of downtime at work).
