Steam news & media updates not loading

[Shakermaker]

Well, actually when I start up Steam that's all it does: loading. A page or info just never shows up. Steam is up to date so that can't be it. Could it have something to do with the fact that I have Firefox as my default browser? Any help would be appreciated.

It's not firefox because i have it set as my default browser.

Steam works fine. News messages and media updates just don't show up.

hmmm - i reckon you'd be best off going to steampowered or emailing support - I don't think you'll get help here tbh Shakey - not for lack of trying but it just sounds nothing like anything I know about steam
sorry

I'll go to the Steampowered forums. Haven't been there since 2004 ...

Oh and as it appears, I don't even have an account there anymore. Weird.

Damnit, account creation is very slow. I have to wait to be moderated.

I'll make myself some diner. Let's see if they can send that mail when I finished my pasta.
