No Forum Characters?

In our Profiles for the forum there is an option to bind a character to our forum avatars that states "Please select the main character from the menu shown below. * You cannot use the forum service until the main character is selected." However, there is no drop menu and no characters are shown, but I'm obviously still using the forum. Thats kinda bizzare, but I went to see if maybe I had to bind a Lodestone character there first and that's not working either. When I try to log-in it tells me "There are no characters available for this Square Enix Account" then has me check my subscription status. Everything's good there too, but it still won't let me log-in. Does this happen for anyone else or is there some silly backwards-2-decades-ago-SE way to log-in that I am missing?

I do see you list a character, so you have already bound your character.

I think it's a maintenance issue and when servers are back up they'll reappear.

I just had this happen when I went to check the patch notes. I waited a bit, and went back and everything was fine. It may just be because of the maintenance or something.
