It appears there my be an issue with linkshells... this morning, I logged into my character from Gridania's Inn and checked my linkshell list; everything was fine and I could communicate with every no problem. However, I received a tell from a member asking if he'd been kicked; apparently the linkshell was working fine for him initially, but it later disappeared from his list.

When he came to me to get a new pearl, I found that I couldn't give one to him (I am/was the shellholder, btw), as it said something along the lines of "No active pearl selected". I then tried switching to another linkshell and back, but I couldn't switch back to my original shell. As that was no longer an option, I tried logging out to see if that fixed the problem, but when I came back into the came, my shell was gone. However, the other members verified that the LS list still showed me as the leader. Naturally, the system to send GM reports is down in-game, so hopefully this is the place to get some feedback/submit bug reports....
