Someone suggested repeatedly bookmarking the specific report I wanted, and eventually it would 'take', but I guess I don't have enough patience for that, because after half a dozen rapid-fire attempts it still sent me to the Reports menu page.
That would have been me. Not sure that doing it quickly makes much difference. When my first attempt to bookmark the Minor League Report (for example) doesn't take (and it usually doesn't) I keep trying it at intervals (like after going to and from the report and visiting other screens in between). Eventually the thing gets bookmarked. Presumably there's some set of circumstances that causes the bookmark to eventually take, but I'll be darned if I've ever been able to figure out what those might be. I usually have four bookmarks set up .... Minor League System Report, Diabled List, Waivers & DFA, and Trading Block. The last three are easy, but marking a specific report is a pain. As the bookmarks for sub-reports like the MLSR eventually do register, it CAN be done, but the process seems unreasonably frustrating. Suggest that if Markus wants more people to use those bookmarks, he find a way to debug the process of setting them up so that whatever report screen you're trying to bookmark is the one you end up with!
