I can't load my saved campaign games

I see them in my directory in my 'starcraft 2' folder but when im in the game and i start it up it says i have 0 achievements and there is nothing there to load.

i tried just opening the saved files from the directory with the starcraft 2 launcher but that doesn't work--just boots the game up normally and then i run into the same problems. is anyone else having this issue? i guess i could just leave the game on until i beat campaign but i imagine i will run into similar annoying issues when i move onto challenges and online multiplayer play.

i also inexplicably lost my connection to bnet in the middle of playing campaign--im not sure if that's a contributing factor, but either way i have all my saves on my hard drive so this really shouldn't lack any sort of resolution.

the blizzard sc2 forums are down and their tech support line is backed up like crazy
