don't see the launch arrow

I'm trying to get started with the Trailhead developer tutorial.  I'm on this page: https://trailhead.salesforce.com/trails/force_com_dev_beginner/modules/platform_dev_basics/units/platform_dev_basics_intro

Under the heading Install the DreamHouse App it says "Click the arrow next to Launch and select Create a Trailhead Playground”.  

I don’t see any arrow, or the word Launch.  Got any tips?

Strange. I am logged in, but I don't see that select, or the launch button.

Can you check on the top right corner if it tells you are actually logged in, similar like mine

Yes, I am logged (0 badges, 100 points). But no launch button.  Maybe my account doesn't have the right permission?

Let's try this
Log out of all the accounts and login again, also clear your browser cookies and history. If that doesn't wrok then try it in a different browser.

Hi All, thank you for the replies. I did get my Dreamhouse app started, with the help of a Salesforce rep. I am now able to work through the tutorial. I can't remember all the steps I went through but essentially I needed to register my domain.  It was confusing because I needed to login so many times—on every salesforce subdomain I needed to login again. Some pages had links to both login and logout. Abdul, I did clear my cookies, but that didn't seem to change things.

Another thing I find confusing is that I still don't see a Launch link on any Trailhead pages when I am logged in.  But I bookmarked my dev app, so its not a problem.

Correction: now I do see the launch button. I moved to a new module in the tutorial, and it suddenly showed up.

And may I say, without sounding obnoxious, that these Salesforce apps do not inspire confidence? Every time I post a reply here, I get a 503. Lots of links give me 404s. Components show up or not, depending on unkown conditions. And a page that lets a user both login and logout, that's really, really bad. How did this buggy stuff make it to production?

Hmm, let's address these to the Salesforce. I am sorry I wasn't that helpful so that I can make this best but I tried my best to help you out. Thanks for the reply.
