Not really.
Your character is lvl 8 (I checked in: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/9223171/)

If you have another character that is higher level, you should choose that one as your forum character.

Otherwise you're waiting until lvl 15 to post, lvl 25 to start a new thread as shown : http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-%28Aug.-22%29

The forum shows you as a level 8 gladiator. If you've got something higher level than that, switch that to the first class listed in Settings > Edit Characters. The forum restrictions go by the first of the three classes you choose.

I take it that by "same kind of issue" he's referring to the Lodestone not updating his character info in a timely manner. (In the "About Me" section of his profile, he claims to be a level 29 Gladiator, but the Lodestone shows him as Level 8.) It usually keeps up reasonably well, but occasionally there have been issues with it having a long delay before the Lodestone sees changes in a character's classes/level/gear. Plus, for players leveling quickly, even fairly recent data may show a significant difference in levels (though rarely quite that far).

Unfortunately, there isn't really anything that players can do about that besides wait for it to eventually catch up. Sooner or later it will update and bring in the more current info.
