ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED....
Just been looking on
www.steampowered.com to see what's going on with this, it appears there are quite a few issues with the friends network, and not being able to find, connect, chat etc with each other.
The good news is that everyone seems to suggest using a similar product called xfire, so I will be d/loading that tonight and setting that up.
Have a look at
xfire and get it downloaded and installed
