Is it just me or has the Sync Account feature been pretty much broken lately?

I'm either getting a blank page or the above error message with no option to try again.
My account is sufficiently public and synced in the past - and I haven't changed any settings since.

Is it working/not working for anyone else?

That happened to me the other day. I waited 10 minutes and tried again and it worked. I've never had a private profile.

Happens every now and then for me. Usually fixes itself.

Well, this is an ongoing problem for over four days now for me.

No, you are not the only one with that problem.

Come on, a quick search of sync brings up a load of results. Problem is thought to be on Steam Community's side, like others have said just keep trying and it'll work eventually.

When you manage to click the green sync button, and if it gives you the error again - press f5 and your browser will ask if you want to resend data - click yes. Repeat this step until you succeed.

I set mine to private and then back to public and saved in between. Fixed it immediately.

Interesting, I've never had a problem with sync, but my profile's always been set to public.

It's not that it can't sync, it's that it won't let you go anywhere on the site without redirecting you to the sync page. My last breakdown lasted 3h, and it wouldn't even let me see who won my giveaway.

Set your profile to public, log out of SG, log out of Steam on your browser (not the client), log back into everything.

Seriously, that works. Had a pretty similar sounding error when trying to access TF2 Outpost the other day for the first time and did all that and voila it worked for me.

EDIT: :( Just checked for myself, get the same error here and my log out, log in method didn't work :(
TF2 Outpost just said 'This inventory is private' or something along those lines >:| which I thought would be closely related to the SG error.

Most of the time synch doesn't work when you have a game running on steam.

Again, my profile is very much public!

By far the most frustrating thing is, that it doesn't let me try again. It just claims that my account isn't public which is absolutely not true.

"If you would like to a force a search, please type in the damn search field in the upper right"

I swear the support peeps need to toss around the banhammer more.

This usually happens when SteamCommunity is down or glitching up.
