 * Hi there
 * is there any information/way to get the error messages for all fields to be the
   same? For example, a xprofile fields checkbox and the default buddypress username
   validate on screen when left out and show a nice pop-up.
 * however, an xprofile field multi-select field dont show the pop-up error message
   next to the field – it shows a completely unstyled error message at the top of
   the page where buddypress shows an alert error message for example when a username
   is already taken.
 * any advice appreciated / if someone else has made this more consistent?
 * best wishes all
