MISSING all my stash items - RESOLVED

RESOLVED: At character selection process I clicked on Standard and just happened to have the mouse on the Standard Self-Found box as well thereby I had chosen SSF where you start a character fresh & naked, nothing from the Stash box, lol. I created my own issue,
Cheers!

Created a 3rd character and all the stash items are missing, stash tabs not labeled. I see the original tabs you get with the character numbered 1-3, I see the premium and gem and currency tabs numbered 4-12 and that's it, all empty, labels missing.
I checked back with my 2nd character and everything in stash is as it should be.
What happened?

NOTE: I can deposit a helm in appropriate stash spaced but cannot deposit this 1 uncut skill gem anywhere.

NOTE: Just discovered I am in SSF League, deleting this. I don't remember doing anything other than Standard, meh.
