I was trying to change my showcases around and have one of the custom animated steam artwork showcases, paid for the commission and everything but when trying to add the showcase to my profile the artwork showcase along with many other are all marked as "Invalid for your account". I was able to do it once in the past with a random free one I had found but I'm not sure what happened for it to be invalid now.

The other showcases that are invalid for me are:
Featured Artwork
My Guides
Video Showcase
Artwork Showcase
Screenshot Showcase

Because you haven't made any of those items or the items you have made are all private.

Same here. Have you been able to fix it?

Same, maybe just wait and it gets fixed...

Oh, I think it's just the API. Looks like the points shop can't display it correct either. As it shows 0% when you try to upgrade it there.

Achievements are a completely different issue. Valve has been working on the backend for weeks which make achievements screw up and go missing.

I can't access my achievements or the rarest achievements showcase.

I cant show my achievement showcase because it's "invalid for my account". I had something like 8000 chievos and 35 perfect games

edit: it fixed itself for a while and now displays the number of chievos but it doesnt display the icons

I'm glad it's not only me. It started with me trying to figure out why I couldn't view any of my achievements for the last however many weeks only to discover I had all these "invalid" categories for showcases, including this one which I have had for years. I guess its a hurry up and wait type of situation for Valve to fix it.
