Claiming character error

Having issue trying to claim character. Says i need a public WOW forum profile???

To claim a character, you need to upload a log made with that character, or go to the Blizzard forums to update activity. How to do so is on the Claim a Character page.

Vanilla: https://vanilla.warcraftlogs.com/blizzard-classic/import
Wrath: https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/blizzard-classic/import

Keep in mind there’s no requirement to claim characters before logging.

are there seperate directions for SOD?
