more Vendors can now get set up faster. During an organizer-set window, authorized vendors at the venue can log in without a passcode, and anyone not on the list goes to the organizer for approval. We've also made the organizer portal smoother by fixing the lag around the raffle and vendors tab so things stay responsive during the show.
