I got an email that I had received a personal message, but I don't see the option on the home page to access it. There used to be a "My Messages" notification on the home screen, but it's not there now.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Top of the screen near the left for me.

On my screen it's directly above the AARoads Forum logo. I haven't received a PM since the forum redesign, so I don't know whether there's still a pop-up notification, but the most direct way to access the messages is almost certainly via the link located above the logo. I assume if you have a message it'll display the number of new messages to the right of that link in a blue circle. The reason I assume that is because at the moment, mine is showing a blue circle with a "1" next to the "Alerts" link, so I'd guess the PMs work the same way.

commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

I've received two, even though I've been quoted a lot more than two times.

[Edit: I thought this was about alerts, not personal messages.]

Top bar, there's the "My Messages" button.  It's beside the "Alerts" text.
