Issue: Steam News

It's not the first time this happens. Therefore, I thought to report it.
The Site News and the Newest Labels/Covers do not load then.

I've seen that happen on a few rare occasions. That feed comes straight from Steam so there's nothing we can do about it. It usually fixes itself out. Try refreshing your browser.

It is possible to catch the error.

Then write a real text in the "Steam News". For example: "Stem feed currently unavailable. Please reload page".

That would look better and if done correctly, the rest of the page would not die
