Why steam removed the links from my info box on my profile? They are simply link to my achievement on steam. I have Just used a url shortener because of this non sense character constraint of the info box. How can I solve? They were fine since yesterday and the link to and internal steam page

Don't do that ^^^

URL shorteners are often used to hide malicious links. While you say it is benign, and it may be today, you or someone else could swap out its destination with something malicious and Steam wouldn't be able to filter or detect it.

You don't need link shortenes to link to your Steam achievements. You can already showcase them on your profile.

I know but the link is too long and I reach the amount of characters limit of the info box. I dont want showcase I need that each game is linked to its own achievement page. Look at my profile now. A Row for Each game that links at its own page...

I have this info box since years (like from 2019) and the same shortener. Nothing happens and plus they are on my profile. What if I set my profile as private? they remove the link as well???

It's relly annoying this closure that steam is persuing currently, I dont like at all

Blame scammers and people using monetized link shorteners for ruining it for everyone else. Nothing you can do. Don't use shorteners anymore.
