How to do these 2 things:
1. How to NOT show the about/splash screen automaticly when you open the client? (just want to to go directly to game).
2. How to make it not come up with the Password box, I don't want to have the password box come up at all, just go directly to game, atleast when playing on my home computer. |

1. You can't, except if the server is down, then it won't show.
2. You can't, password is there for safety reasons. |

Not having a way to save the password actually lowers the safety. As I for one changed my password from a fairly secure one to one that is short and easy to type because I have to type it every time I play/spec a game. |

No system in the world can guarantee safety from human laziness. |

Seems to me that you actually lowered the security yourself.
My password is 12 letters and it's hardly that much bother to type it in every time. |

A lazy person with an easy password is still safer than a lazy person without a password.
Someone hacking your fumbbl account could at worst retire your teams (which can be restored by admins if it is obvious sabotage). Someone hacking your client means that they can wreck your team or cheat to strengthen their own team. So the password protects the most important thing you can do on Fumbbl. |

Yes, a good password should combine at least two dictionary words. |

You mean the splash screen telling us the current server version and giving credit to all the people who have worked very hard to allow us to play bloodbowl online for free? |

That splash-screen is the thing that gives credit to the people who have put in their free time to make this client a reality. No matter how much time you will have to spend on clicking that screen, say 1 second each time you spectate or play a game if you are a slow clicker, you will never end up spending a 1% of the time that these people have put into it for your sake.
Pay them some respects. |

1/ I'm happy to see the splash screen as I can see which version is being used.
2/ About the password though, yes, having the possibility to save it locally would be better, but well, I don't mind much there |

No, Why shouldn't these people credit for all the free time they've put into the client? |
