On certain sites that require authentication the auto-login feature behaves differently. There are yellow borders around the input fields, so it means that the username and password are stored.
But the "FastForward" button is disabled (and doesn't say "Login"), and the mouse gesture to fast forward does not work. However pressing the "Wand" button or Ctrl+Enter DOES fill in and submit the fields.
What is the difference between the "Wand" button and the "FastForward" (or "Login") button? And why does the "FastForward" button sometimes not work?

Now read the first message again and see if you can spot the hidden url... ;)

It says 'Log in (Shift+X)' here, and works.

'Fast Forward' can perform three functions: - activating a saved Wand login - activating the Next link (either or a link found on the page named 'next') - activating a slide show of image links found on the page
The priority should be 1. Wand 2. Next 3. Show. You can control this by editing fastforward.ini

So the question becomes: why does it behave differently on my system? Ok, most of the times it says 'Login' when I can login on that page, but I'm sure I've seen this behaviour on some other sites. And for me it is 100% reproducable with this site, I'm not making this up: http://venstraat.zapto.org/tmp/opera/autologin.png

That's nice, I think I like the default priorities... Btw I'd LOVE to know more about how exactly this slide show thing works, where does it get the image urls from...?
In the Opera v8.0 beta, I've noticed that often when I click on one of the images on the gallery page, I can no longer use fast-forward to view the other images. I have to choose fast-forward from the index page (or gallery page) in order to use the slide-show feature.

I can't explain this difference.

The slide show becomes available when a page offers one or more direct links to image files, recognized by their extension (gif, jpg, png). And you do indeed have to start clicking 'Show image'
