    Steam Account Hijacked :(

    I just got back to the computer after just watching a film and it says i logged on on another computer.

    strange i think i have only used it on this machine and when at the lan Madducks Computer. so i try to log back in and change the password. no such luck. on send a password reset e-mail. no e-mail came through. so i've raised a support ticket but i really fanced a game of L4d right about now and now im stuck with no steam games for god knows how long
