I'm fairly new to all of this and I need to set up a ERC-20 FRIENDLY wallet. My understanding is myetherwallet is widely used and recommended. For some reason it does not work properly for me, the site only partially comes up. Has anyone else had this issue or is their another one to recommend. I have ordered a Nano S hard wallet too.
Thanks in advance for any help.

What issue are you getting with MEW? You can always get help through their email at support@myetherwallet.co

Other than that, you may also use Parity[1] and Mist[2] for PC, or imToken[3] for Android/iOS.

[1] https://parity.io/
[2] https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases
[3] https://token.im/

When I go to their site half the page is is just blank so I'm unable to basically set up anything.

I am not sure but you cant use Nano S for all ERC20 tokens. They dont support all of these coins.
Can you check your address from https://ethplorer.io/ ?
This website shows every ERC20 coins that you have.

Weird that MEW wont work for you on the get go. However when your Nano S comes in you can start to use it then and it should work 100% proper. If I understand correct it wont support all erc20 tokens but a vast majority.

do you use a computer or android? for the computer trying to do by way of clear cache and cooekies and all the history browser.
It happens probably only from the browser

For me, myetherwallet has been the most reliable. Since you're getting those issues, contact them

I think this is not a problem with browsers, maybe this is all just a mistake on the site they access, maybe this is only temporary, so wait until everything is completely normal, or maybe their internet network problem so only part of it can be opened.

Even with a slow internet connection it will load. The website dont have to much on it.
Can I ask the OP what browser are you using?
Even with my android I can open it with a slow data connection.
There must be something that is blocking the website.
One more thing be careful with the fake sites of myetherwallet.
Be sure you type it right or you google it first.
Also look at the lock icon near the uRL.

I use imtoken .Sometimes i don't find a new token on it.I hope that creaters of new token in the future have more attention for imtoken .

I've been using MEW everyday using JSON FILE for signing in. kindly check the link before putting your private key on it.

Check your browser or your internet connection maybe some web objects aren't fully loaded enough and you can't view the whole page.

You should upgrade chrome or mozilla browser and you will see the mew in your laptop. It is simple

I think you should just ensure that you are accessing the right website www.myetherwallet.com (http://www.myetherwallet.com), ever since I have started using it, I havent encountered the issues you are currently experiencing, from my side it works just fine, I can recommend it.

You might as well consider meta mask extension, but it might be a bit confusing for some one who is fairly new since you are required to add tokens manually, probably you might find it interesting.

Wow! Thanks for all the insight. I have tried from 2 diff laptops that have 2 diff operating systems.  I've tried in the past clearing history,  cookies, changing settings etc. Ive even been on different ISP as well. I may try one of the other sites suggested. My nano should arrive tomorrow hopefully when I set that up it will help determine if I do need to use a "myetherwallet" or not for any ERC20 I am looking into.
I prefer not to do it on an Android bc of having to print out anything.
I'll try and email mew since it seems that they are helpful.
Thanks again for the input so far.     :)

Hi Cartessa, if you have Chrome as web browser i suggest you to try also Metamask.
MEW is better anyway I use it too.

What do you mean by the website only partially shows up? Have you tried to access the website later in the day?
You could use a desktop wallet instead.

i'm not sure because i think ot os because of low internet connection so you cannot open it, it is happen at me one time because of poor connection it is display just a blank page and theirs nothing more try to change you internet connection for you to able to see it on your homepage or just use updated apps for you to able to see it.

The best wallet for ERC20 tokens is MyEtherwallet so far, or just a Trezor wallet who allows you to hold most of those erc20 coins, but i dont know if trezor does accept ico's tokens, maybe i should do a better research about this. But i have been using myetherwallet to store all my altcoins and it works perfectly, you can manage all of them only by one click, and their security is brilliant, you can do everything through your dashboard and even to check your total entire balance at once.

you can also use jaxx.io and also install app on smartphone.

Use Myetherwallet. There is no need to worry about anything. We know who made it, we don't see any harm from it.

Its like to have a paper wallet and easy to use, cannot go wrong with it

I agree mate, this wallet has greater advantage than any other type of wallets because it has already an optional downloadable key store file back-up. The private key has a safety features which cannot be hacked by any possible attacker. ERC20 tokens is certainly capable to view with that's why it's having more ethereum contracts right now, and I recommend using this rather that any other wallets for incoming eth ICO's to launch.
