You have to validate that via email

Sounds like you have to do the process all over again but with a new account name and POSSIBLY another email address....

@ The Giving One No, it looks like steam users forums are the old forums that some people still use? It isn't these forums, which the OP is obviously able to use. I am kinda confused actually.

Anyway, those other forums say:
"If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the Forums Rules and Guidelines. You must register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. NOTE: Forum accounts are separate from Steam accounts."

I'm sure it's what Kal-El said.

I am very sorry...I misunderstood in that it sounded like the email he got was out of date...i appologize

@ The Giving One Like I said, I am confused about this anyway. There are two forums up and running. I didn't know that. No reason to be very sorry.

that are the old forums, use steamcommunity discussion boards whenever you can, the old forums are merely an archive.

no, again, that are the old forums, deprecated, archive or whatever you wanna call it, they are still a bit used, but nothing compareable to the activity here, would be senseless if they would be the requirement for anything,
the community market involves money for item, therefore trading is not an option there. if you wanna trade item for item, every game has a trading board here over the games community hub and there are several 3rd party websites which you can use to find people to trade with.
