Well, no change in how my seats are shown (none selected on the website, 2A on the app), though I can open and view the seatmap now. When I do so on the website, I can't choose anything in GF due to no longer being a (trial) 1K, and BF has all 40 seats open. On the app, I get the same result, except I'm still "assigned" 2A. EF shows all seven GF seats blocked, and not a single seat in any class as "occupied". Maybe they're still reassigning seats, as this flight isn't until mid-April. The suspense continues, at least for me.
Web: no seat assigned, all 40 J seats available for selection, F not available for selection
App: 2A still "assigned" both in booking page and when viewing seat map, other F not available for selection, all J seats available for selection
EF: all F seats blocked, all J (and Y) seats available

My seats have not reverted to the pre-snafu allocation. They remain the new seats I selected during the time when the maps were restored but all the seat allocations had disappeared.

LOL Glad I am not the only one.
Was wondering to myself how often I should be checking these and for how long....
So far, about 3 times a day.

I am T minus 60 and my "poached" seat assignment of 1K while the seat maps were briefly available is holding steady. I'm checking every few hours, because, what else would get me through the day???? 
Plus, I want my 1K seat assignment to match the 1K on my boarding pass, I have never had that joy.
Hilarious!!
You are not alone in such an operation.
However, *I* may be alone in not being able to get Snoop Dogg's "Drop It Like It's Hot" out of my head reading your Watchitlikeahawk.
When UA's IT fails you.....watchitlikeahawk,watchitlikeahawk, watchitlikeahawk
When PZ may be available to you....watchitlikeahawk,watchitlikeahawk, watchitlikeahawk
When seatmap shows GF open for you...watchitlikeahawk,watchitlikeahawk, watchitlikeahawk
I've got the Rolly on my arm and UA FAs are pourin' Chandon,
Cause I'm sitting in 1A, and I got it going on....
(with apologies to Snoop D O double g)
