I really liked this little usability device on Panic’s website (they do FTP software) – it gradually fills in the green until the button turns into a “you’re ready to order” button – subtle, useful, great user experience.

Run of negative posts recently but some things send me nuts. Below is a screenshot of Virgin Money’s login screen. This error message would be all well and good, except for the fact that all the characters I entered were valid, it was just the wrong password! Talk about a confusing error message.
