Please can anybody help?!
This is my first time here and new to the Crypto world.
I created MEW last week following tutorials step by stepI managed to send ether from gdax and tokens from binance to the same address, afterwards I unlock checked that the tokens arrived and all seamed in order. Today when I try to unlock MEW the address that opens is a completely different one with no tokens in it!! i've visited etherscan and introduced the  original address and the ether and tokens are there but I cannot have access to it via MEW. Can any of you HELP please!!! THanks in advance.

Possible thing that do happen on here is that you might able to input a wrong privatekey since you do said that it shows another address which means theres something wrong on the key you have inputted on the mew site. Make it sure that you do copy paste it well so that you would able to access that eth wallet address again.If not then those coins are considered lost.

Thanks a lot for your fast reply Koadharber, I didn't sign in with my private key but with Mnemonic phrase which i have hard copied, the list of addresses that provides are not the one that I used originally to transfer the coins. How it comes that it doesn't retrieve the same address? I get that you think its a typo error from my part but I have tried hundreds of times, I'm going insane...

On MEW you get access with private key. What kind of Mnemonic phrase do you use? O_o
I think you messed things up. If you want just check balance, put in your address - public key.

I've also experienced the same thing with you three months ago and I lost some of my eth, it was indeed my fault for forgetting the private key

Not only forgetting the private key makes this issue to anyone. There are some fake sites contains with the same misspelled text which is similar like Myetherwallet site is here around while you doing Google search about.
Most of these kind site owners uses the Google adwords service and makes their site while anyone search about MEW or myetherwallet on the Google search. So be careful while you are logging in to the wallet you doing with the Google search.

As someone quite new to cryptos, was wondering how to access my tokens on MEW in light of the recent news of Keystore files being vulnerable. Even on MEW login now it says logging in with the keystore is not recommended. So how are we supposed to get to the coins?

There are only two possibilities why your mew account got hacked its either you click a phishing site or somebody knows your private key but mostly eth wallets are hacked because of phishing link.

If anyone explains the measures you have said you will make your wallet safer but I many times noticed that bitcoin or ethereum looses by signing in to the fake phishing sites to loose the funds. There we need to check multiple time whether your URL is right or not.
That is the issue for the every person and some people only loosing the private key or steel by the family members. This is how private key issue people get the issue in loosing the funds.
