** Description changed:

  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.
