Hi! I'm new, and I'm running into an inexplicable problem.
I followed the quickstart guide and created a storylet in my Always deck. The guide (and the wiki, and the resource manual) all say/suggest that when I create a new character, the very next page I see should be my "home" page, where there should be a pinned card that I can click.
Instead, I have a sidebar (with my name, # of actions, items tab, etc.), a header (that says starter area), and a blank space where my pinned card should be. I can play the storylet from the editor's window by clicking the "play this storylet" button, but I can't get the storylet to show up as a card in my starting area.
I've only seen one person on the forums run into this problem. I tried the solutions in that thread, but they didn't work (kill the character off, remove the Key of Dreams, add the Key of Dreams). I'm at an absolute stand still and am so frustrated I could honestly cry. If you know anything, please help.

I figured out what the problem was!
If you create a new storylet, but you don't give it a title for some reason (like, your browser crashed before you had the chance to), then that storylet hangs around, completely invisible. It doesn't show up with the rest of your storylets.
You can tell if you have one of these invisible storylets by assigning tags to all of your visible storylets. If the 'uncategorized tags' section remains on your storylets page, with nothing but a blank spot under it, that means that you have one or more invisible storylets that were created but never given a title for some reason.
The way that I fixed this problem was through the "recent edits" panel. I clicked on every recent edit that was made, and if it led to a storylet that had no title, I gave that storylet a title.
All of this may or may not be a bug, depending on whether or not ALL edits remain in the "Recent Edits" section or if that section only tracks the last X number of recent edits. Because if any of the untitled storylets ever disappear from the Recently Edited area, then there's really no way for the user to ever fix them.
I hope that helps someone!
