I feel a thousand percent better about not being able to work these boards. My husband who know much much more about computers than I ever will spent about 3 hours this afternoon using all your hints and his know how, and they would not display for him either. He ended up saying bad words. Maybe it's our virus scan or computer or something. It keeps going back to the message board instead of opening what ever we click on. He did get me logged on with a pass word, but that doesn't help either. This certainly is interesting, and you know what the old Chinese curse is: "May you live in interesting times".
