My nickname appear as numbers in forums and avatar as an "?"

[Ethan]

Sometimes my nickname appears as a lot of numbers (which are not my steam id) and avatar shows as question mark.

Also, I'm having a lot of problems trying to enter some sections like my profile.

Searching on google I've found that it could be that my account has been hijacked and converted to a bot one.

Can that be true? What can I do?

It has not block me, it show a screens that says "error" and "retry", and after some retries I can enter.

You told another user here (https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/1744479064005078986/) that his account was hijacked.

That was a completely different situation. Your account is perfectly fine.





It is just a server issue for you. See. https://imgur.com/a/9FKfKaC

Yeah? And why I don't see it happening to anybody else? Why I can't reset my password? Why can't I access from other computers via web?

It is happening to other random users. It isn't an issue with the entire community. You just have to wait it out.

Well, I have reasons to believe it could be something else, I'll contact the support.

Is normal that until today I'm having all those issues? Now I also have problems posting: "you don't have permission", "you wrote too many times". In order to be able to edit/delete/quote or post a new comment I have to update the page a few times.
