For those of you who want to access their account details, I have a rough solution: click on 'Blogs' at the top of the screen, and then click on the link that leads to your account information from there.

Alex, what is going on? Can people without cookies still log in?

The new bar looks a bit tacky. It's to large. Is there some way to make it look less blocky? I personally liked the old font untop.

I don't know what you are seeing but I can still see Inbox and My Account and Log Out. I can still access everything the same over there.

Yeah I hate the new bigger fonts in the top bar. Getting unexpected PM's will be even more alarming now I'll see "1 New Message" in bold AND big font. Not that anyone PMs me anymore

@League_Girl: The area on the right side is just a grey block without the "my account/inbox/log out" options that used to be there.

Which is what I am concerned about.

I can see mine and access them. Did you refresh your browser to see if they appear?

Okay I just saw it. Something decided to pop up here, some Java Script thing claiming I am missing a plugin and it froze up the browser so I had to use my husband's laptop to make that post I was trying to make. He only has IE on his laptop so when I opened it and came here, there was no Inbox or My Account or Log Out. It was all blank.

To log in, you just have to simply make a post and it will ask you to log in.

On Firefox you can still access this stuff but on IE you can't. I guess it depends on what browser you use.

I have tried that (IE); it didn't help.

I just viewed WP in Opera, and the login/register was there.
It's still not in IE.

I can see Inbox / My Account / Log Out just fine, but I still think the new look is crap.

I can see it all in Firefox. I would recommend switching to that browser.

I can see mine perfectly, all alex needs to do is repair/optimize the board and you should be able to see the inbox and the account information to work on IE.

I work on forums too.
