The specified profile could not be found.

My friend registed a new account last night after his old one got hacked. After he linked me his URL so I could add him, however all day today I have recieved an error. He has made his profile public and set it up, so I am unsure what the issue is here. He will post after me so I can click his profile, but if that doesn't work I'm out of ideas. Any help is appreciated.
His URL is as follows: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/blackjesusnails69/

it might take a while for a new profile to be registered.

I initally thought that, but it has been 24 hours now. How long is 'a while'?

So he's just told me when tyring to reply to this he recieved 'Your account is not allowed to post in discussions'. So currently I have no way of accessing his profile it seems.

that is not his url and never could be his url, it is completely wrong.

after /profiles/ only the steamid64 can follow. custom name urls are only after /id/ but that also does not exist.

he probably made up this url manually using his username. the username is by default nowhere used other then to login.

----

he
goes to his profile
rightclick -> copy page url
and gives you that.

He has also sent me one with numbers, which also does not work. https://steamcommunity.com/id/765611983581099488/
Nor does he appear in the search bar after I click 'Add a friend'.

that url is wrong again and also self-made. the number would be also to long for a steamid64

you cannot search for usernames.

rightclick -> copy page url
and gives you that.

that is the easiest method, just do that.

That is what he has been doing and it gives him the URL with numbers.

So I'm guessing no one actually knows what the issue is here. Is there anyway he can contact Steam to help with the issue?
