Ah, first things first. Thanks for the tips, everyone. And would it be an idea to have an Amber-Alert-like thing in Waze? (This is the offtopic-forum after all)

This is what I use for my Waze bookmark button:
https://www.waze.com/signin/?page=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.waze.com%2Fdashboard%2F
This way, the first thing I do when I get here is sign in, then immediately see my Dashboard to see how far down the ranks I'm sinking due to my laptop being out of commission. :cry: ;) I then use a second bookmark button to come to the forum (and having already logged in at the Dashboard, I'm never asked for a login at the forum).
I'm Spil, and I approve this message! :D

If you use the method I posted, or the link from jasonh300, you can stay logged into the forum all the time... I use this method on my tablet to stay logged in on the forum all the time so I don't have to log into the Waze website just to check the forums...

That works fine for the forums, but if the "parent" site doesn't have you logged in, then the dashboard and wiki also make you log in, don't they?

True... But in the past I've experienced weird issues where I was logged out of the forum automatically, but not the main website. Since I logged into the forums this way & then the website separately, this hasn't happened...

Ah, and that's why I just log in once to the website and don't have to worry about all the others. And since my browser has my credentials saved (bad security, I know), I only have to click the login button to do so.

According to an article I recently read in Wired, passwords are inherently insecure, so we're all doomed anyway.
