How the heck do you open private messages?

Is anyone having as much trouble with this site since the update as I am? I used to be able to click and boom, my private messages would open. I have just spent about 30 minutes clicking on every button on the site trying to open my message. I went to Members area and clicked on messages. There is a partial screen there with just the first couple lines of my message and it's cut off. I've pressed everything trying to acces it. There is no simple button anywhere that says "open". I've tried numerous other things and I can't get to it. Can someone post some detailed instructions. It shouldn't be this difficult.

When I first open the site now, I get a long listing of all the forums. The text on each of the forum titles is cut in half and you can't read it. Everytime I click on something it takes a LONG time for the screen to change. Is there a problem??

HELP!

Yep, a couple of troubleshooting tips.

Check if you have a pop up blocker activated - that will prevent PMs from opening. Also, try deleting your Cookies.
