 * [Contact Form Image](http://www.ebootis.de/anmeldung/contactform.png)
 * The error messages are displayed inside of the form fields. Because of that, 
   the form fields are not editable anymore. This means, if the user doesn’t enter
   sth. in a requiered field, he hasn’t a possebillity to edit or refill this field.
 * Can you help me?
 * Thanks in advance

 * hey,
 * thanks for the quick help. Switching the theme didn’t have an effect, but the
   customizing validation error messages link did the job. thanks!
 * As far as I understood is this a problem, if inline fields are used. Which type
   of fields are inline fields?
    My form looks like this: [Form](http://www.ebootis.de/anmeldung/contactform2.png)
   Is it because of the checkboxes?
 * Thanks!
