Description

The form fails to validate, but no error message is shown at the top. Errors are produced per-field, but they have no class and are thus not visually distinguished from the rest of the form. It appears that the profile has been saved, but it has not.

Pinax should have consistent and usable form error handling throughout. For general notifications including form validation warnings I would recommend http://code.google.com/p/django-notification/, which is used by Pinax. I think that relying on community-standard apps instead of rolling your own solutions is a good way to avoid the bloat that plagues so many other ecommerce systems...
