Error code while saving guide
Hi, I'm currently writing a guide for a game I'm playing. I haven't really had MANY issues that haven't been able to be solved by help from here so I'll post this issue here cause I can't seem to find help anywhere else on Steam!

I seriously DON'T understand why they HAVE to make it so damn hard!

My current problem is with an error code that comes up when I'm trying to save the guide, specifically after I've added in a picture.

This guide HAS NOT been published so I don't see the issue there and if I remove the picture link and add in random text it saves just fine?

The pop says:
Steamcommunity.com says
Failure Code:8

Yep. I ran into this with one of my guides. Found out if you put too many screenshots in one section, you get this error. Look at this guide for example, as i had to seperate the sections.

I discovered this issue when making this guide and figured out each section of the guides has a limit of how much each section can contain. Good luck with your guide OP!

Thanks i knew that there was a limit for text. I've run into that a few times, but not for pictures. Will edit.
