Custom Showcase Upgrade

The Custom Showcase has been upgraded. Some notes about the upgrade:

- The Custom Showcase style and layout has been cleaned up to be more consistent throughout the different pages. It has also been modernized and hopefully looks a little prettier :)
- Search results now shows 3 times as many results per page.
- Navigation links are included in the Search results to jump to searches by toy series or creator.
- The number of comments are now shown in the Search Results.
- The date the custom was added to the Showcase is now displayed when viewing the custom.
- Replies are now included in the Latest Comments section of the Showcase. You will now see a little green arrow indicating that it is a reply to a comment, instead of a new comment. This also applies to all other areas of the website.
- Smilies are back when posting / viewing comments on all areas of the website.
- Customizer is now displayed in the Latest Comments header. This also applies to all other areas of the website.
- There is now a "Navigate" section on each Custom to view the previous or next custom by submission, series or creator.
- Lots of other little changes you may, or may not, notice ;)

noticed an issue with the comments section, on the contests where the creators are to anonymous, the newest comments shows the creator when a comment is posted. Just thought you should know and the only thing else I can think of is maybe sometime be able to see how many views the custom has, kinda liked that feature. but still great in every aspect really been enjoying the new system it is very user friendly, keep up the great work.

Thanks for reporting that. That's not a good thing. I've removed the creator from the comment title for now. Unfortunately, the commenting system isn't aware of the concept of contests, so it'll take a little work to fix the correct way.

Alright. I think we are fixed up now. Let me know if you see any more loopholes.

No problem, wanted to keep the contest fair and not have the creators known before the end. Like I metioned before about views for the customs and anthony was mentioning he was not getting email notifications about posts or replies to his customs. But like I said before the system has been smooth and user friendly and no complaints, only see those things as being missed. Still great job you guys deserve a lot of credit for making the best site on the net, kudos to all you behind the scenes.

I like the new system, the viewing is going to take a bit to get used to. Using the navigation to find certain figs, series, or customizers and seeing the replies works better on the main page. Seeing how many comments is totally awesome, I will be learning little by little, but I am very happy. Keep up the great work and thanks for listening.
