I was logged out of the forums, no biggy - I assumed as it sometimes does, this was just a usual you need to log in every so often. When I logged back in, for some reason it had defaulted to showing my classic wow account shaman and not my retail characters. I tried logging out, closing my browser, changing my password, logging out of the battle.net launcher and logging back in to launch from there, same issue.
I’m not sure what’s going on and when I try to search for similar issues, I find none because my issue is about the forums and not the game where I can log on to my retail no issue.
