    So is anybody else's Steam down right now? I will try and start it up and it will require me to put in my password to log in (the first odd thing I noticed since it usually remembers my password and starts without that screen). After putting in the pass word I get a window/message from steam saying "Steam is having trouble connecting to the Steam servers." The only two options are to "Retry connection" which results in the same window coming up; or simply "Cancel". I've tried going to the Steam Support page but it says "Our help desk is currently disabled. Normal operations will resume shortly. Thank you for your patience."

    Weird...

    I'm going to try again later tonight but I just wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing the same problem.

    I'm on it, and I just got out of playing a game, so it's working for me.

    Yeah I know. But this is the first problem I've had with Steam over the past 4-5 years so it's not that big of a deal...yet ;)
