      Description

      As a follow-up of MDL-48159, I stumbled upon a minor thing:

      If I set the "Require group to make submission" setting in an assignment activity to yes, students who are not in any group are prevented from submitting their assignment and are presented a warning instead that they should contact their teacher.

      Teachers who get a similar warning see this warning in a eye-catching div class="alert alert-error" container.

      Students only see this warning in the "Submission status" table within the assignment which is rather subtile.

      Could you please make the warning message more eye-catching for students (similar to the teachers' warning message)?
