The format of the Steam ID in your profile page is very finicky.
It wants one of the following formats:
Actual ID: STEAM_0:X:XXXX
Profile Page: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/7656119XXXXXXXXXX
Community ID: 7656119XXXXXXXXXX
Nicknamed Profile Page: http://steamcommunity.com/id/XXXXXX
The easiest way is to open steam, switch to your community page, and grab the URL:
2957
In my case: http://steamcommunity.com/id/thisgeek/home
Remove the /home, and paste the remaining into the field. When you save your profile, it will work out your steam community ID for you. You'll see the field will change to a string of numbers, as in format 3 above.
Alternatively, to find your actual steam id:
Locate your steam directory on your hard drive, usually C:\Program Files\Steam -- find steam.log file and open it with notepad. Look for lines such as: Found existing connection 9,216.228.115.67:27030 for 0:0:8888. The last few numbers is your steam id, ie: 0:0:8888.
So you then prefix it with STEAM_ to get STEAM_0:0:8888 and use that in your profile.
Don't know why this needs to be so complicated.. but anyway :p
