I asked for a password reminder - though I knew it was the same as for the website - and picked up the email (on the PC) with a totally different login name (world_xxxxx), and clicking the link took me to my usual web page. Could this be a server location problem? I'm in UK running Android 2.2.1 on HTC Wildfire.
Sounds like your Nehbrown account is associated with a different email address. What does it say on the /dashboard webpage for your email address? And, if you're logged into the website/forum, perhaps just try changing your password so you're sure you and the Waze database are aligned.

FB events don't show up right away. There's some timing involved. I don't recall exactly what it is though...

20-30 minutes is no proof that heavy traffic doesn't exist. Data is needed=Wazers driving through.

Search "prefer bluetooth" and/or "bluetooth android" and I'm sure you'll find some helpful info.

I'd check to see what different options like "avoid highways" or "avoid toll roads" may have on better alternate route functionality.

I didn't ask if you changed them, but to check how adjusting those settings might change the results you get in looking for alt routes.

Wave twice if you aren't already.

Hard to say. ASR requires a double-activation of the proximity sensor.

Integration with G+ is on the list of things to consider more strongly now, according to recent update posted by Shirli.
