Title:
  Forms should consistently have errors above the top-level heading

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If you submit a form with validation errors, most of the time a message comes up above the <h1> on that page warning you that there are errors. However a few pages do not have this feature and only have error messages beside the invalid inputs.
  Consistency is important to users of screen readers, who may assume that a form has submitted correctly if the error message does not appear where they expect.
  All pages need to be checked, but so far the Create Group form and the Profile (Content -> Profile) form do not report errors at the top of the page.

  Affects latest master
