Ubivis: I am having trouble with steamgifts at the moment, ...
It always redirects me to [re-sync]...
I have this problem all the time, and my profile is public, too. I just keep trying to sync, over and over, until it eventually takes it. There are two parts: hit the sync command, then hit the "OK" button to complete the process. You'll know you've succeeded when it says "Last updated 30 second ago."
Ubivis: The important part from my post: I am getting redirected to the sync page all the time, it does not matter which link I click (Forum, Home, My Account, Support): I am ending up calling
http://www.steamgifts.com/sync. Makes the page unusable for me completely.
You get that error message whenever SteamGifts is unable to link to your Steam account, regardless of whatever you click on. It means that SteamGifts is having trouble reading your information from your Steam profile.
Check the various settings on your profile. There are three privacy settings, and it's possible you may need to set all three to "public."
