5.1 Messagebox for user if he forgot a required field

Hello,
in 4.1 user was shown a messagebox if he forgot a required field in input form.

in 5.1 there is only a very small text behind the forgotten field. If you have an input form with 50 fields it's very difficult for the user to find the problem.
So, how can I make a message box again or put a yellow/blue color to the hint text so the user will at once see

the problem...
Concerning this feature 4.1 was much better in my opinion...
Best regards.

The general problem with the popup is that once it's closed you need to remember what form fields needs to be filled or corrected. If you have more than 1-2 fields to fix it will be really painful.
Having in place error message fixes this issue.
The following section in include/style.css file controls font/color of validation error messages:

.error, .error p {

...

}
