Need clearer visual cue for submitted transcriptions #73

When a user saves a transcription, there is a small notification that appears at the bottom. We need a better visual cue for the user that their contribution is saved. What makes most sense is probably that the text box becomes inactive, reverting to the view a user sees before clicking "Edit", but this time it will show their transcription, and their account name and timestamp at the top as the most recent revision.

One drawback to this approach is that when a user submits "saved" the transcript and if the screen reverts back to the inactive "edit" button version - they've been kicked out of the transcription. So, if there was a lot of folks looking at one page and going back and forth - they would lose their "hold" on the page and get locked out by the next user.

I do agree though, that it would be a better visual confirmation that the transcription page has been saved. The pop up is ok, but it doesn't feel like it's been saved to the user (or to me, anyway).
