Can't send trade offers
Apparently Steam can't recognize the same computer that i'm using when i try to send trade offers in chrome,
I get this error message:

There was an error sending your trade offer. Please try again later.

You have logged in from a new device. In order to protect the items in your inventory, you will be unable to trade from this device for 7 days.

Anyone know a solution, or what's going on?

Well, somehow, steam guard recognized your computer as a new one, so you can't trade for 7 days.

The seven day cooldown is device specific.

So, if the cooldown has already passed on the Steam Client, you can use it for trading - even if the cooldown has *not* passed on the browser.

A common complaint with using browsers for trading is that the cooldown keeps resetting. This happens every time someone deletes their cookies. So if you're in the habit of clearing your browser's cache or wiping your internet history, try to stop doing that. If your internet security is set to delete cookies, consider making an exception for steamcommunity.com.

So if i stop deleting internet cache and history on my browser, in 7 days will i be able to straight up send trade offers from the browser by clicking trade offer links?

As long as you don't delete the cookies required by Steam, yes.

I haven't been deleting any cookies though for a long time and it did this...
