I'm unable to sign in to the official forums at work (I'm going to try posting this there too when I get home). At work we connect to our home office in IL (I live in NE), but I know very little about networking other than Google always thinks that I'm in IL. When I try to sign into the forums I get this error message and I'm wondering if there is a way to fix it on my end.

You could try to delete the browser cache.
Usually if the problem is on my end at all, that works for me when getting strange access errors.
You could try in a private browsing session, where it doesn't use your cookies, etc. that or try another browser.
Cleared cache, tried 2 different browsers, and private mode, no luck. For some reason their end doesn't like that I'm going through my corporate network to hit their site. Only thing I can think of is our proxy is blocking something they need for authentication, but what that would be I have no idea.

Delete browser cache and also cookies. A local session is either using cookies, or local storage on more modern browsers, and if those mismatch to what the website expects, you won't be able to log in.
Unfortunately, you'll have to re-login after doing that.
Likely, the local session cookie had an expiration. A week, thirty days, etc. It's a security feature.
(Huh, I did learn something in those web programming classes.)

I'd assume it's a firewall issue. You're probably out of luck.
Probably

Could be port-blocking, maybe? I was once on a network that blocked the ports I needed to play FFXI. Had to go for months before they cleared my request to allow those ports.
It's annoying because it's only SE's forums that do it. I can log into account management just fine.

Well as a last resort if nothing works you could just use teamviewer and operate your home pc from work? I know its not what you are looking for but at least you will be able to log into the forums. :P

Our network is very locked down, I can't even use Hipchat at work to converse with the Zam management, I have to run it on my Nexus 7

Tch tch business networks are so annoying, blocking facebook even, its not like we are 23 hours a day in there....oh wait.
Lucky you that you can get into the official forums, I would like to, but since I didn't play v1, I can't. :(
From the website when I try to login:
You could not log in because the service account in question is not registered.
If you would like to log in to the service, please log in to the Square Enix Account Management System and register the service account.
And code registration is disabled until the game is released I assume. Too bad they don't prospective players on the forum, but I understand it probably cuts down on spam, etc.

100% agree with this. I know at my office they have ports blocked to ensure safety and make sure people aren't playing around with games when they are there for work. All though the site seems harmless to us while at home, Network Admins for Companies have other idea's on what seems harmless.

It's unlikely since the Lodestone is a web page that uses standard ports, unless all web pages are blocked. It's more likely that SE is using an HTTP header with session data that's being stripped off when it passes through the gateway. Corporate firewalls will often strip non-essential headers off its web traffic (usually in an effort to remove identifying information about the machines in the network). It's something I've run into while setting up web services in the past.

This sounds very likely indeed. Especially since they have such a roundabout way of logging in to the forums, it seems pretty sketchy.
