I love the rush report and check it every time I plan on rushing something. Just a qucik style suggestion – Could you please put some kind of line underneath each show? A horizontal rule or a border-bottom to fully separate each entry. Sometimes it is hard to decipher which show is which when they go onto multiple line. Just a suggestion. Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion! We’ll look into making this change!
Thanks! I just think it would be helpful for people quickly scanning it. If you need help, I’m a web designer so I can assist if needed.
