Great, now he’ll need a wider doorway for his big head.

... but for his Steam friends he's a hero :)

comp9 is the financially challenged version of Elon Musk with a little smaller IQ and an even smaller ego.

I think the only way is to go back one step and to try again, Rabbit.
At least that's what I did.
But who knows, maybe comp9 has a much better phone solution for us.

My phone has neither an F5 or right click button… what do I do? Am I screwed?

Help me, comp9, you’re my only (free) hope!

That's the day they do maintenance for the week, so Steam sometimes gets flakey for a couple hours.

Thanks for the info, comp9. It’s quite annoying at all the moment.

The most likely times Steam acts funny:

-Tuesday
-Right before a major sale and the first two days
-Shortly after a major sale ends
-Being targeted by a Denial of Service attack for various reasons
-Upgrading or changing something (such as how screenshots don't say the names of who liked them, perhaps that will stay perhaps not)

Some pages right click doesn't work. Steam may be making a major change or experiencing a DOS (denial of service) attack this week.

All the major platforms getting targeted by DOS attacks here and there. Xbox, PlayStation, Epic, Blizzard, and others--all of them have had times where other entities try to make the website harder to access

Or Steam has blog entries after previous Stream sales where they describe the massive amount of traffic sales bring in and how many other providers they temporarily rent bandwidth and processing power from.

Perhaps now that the spring sale is over they are turning all that extra bandwidth and processing power off, getting things running only on their usual setup again.
