I'm all for a re-design of the interface. While I work it very adeptly now and have grown to like it, I'd say it's about the hardest part of the OOTP learning curve and something that can scare a lot of newcomers away.

The one thing in my mind that I must implore you about- Please do not get rid of the ability to have bookmarks! It is obvious looking at the poll that a minority of OOTP users utilize this, but for those of us that do it is an incredible time-saving feature. Everytime I create a new universe or start working a new franchise, I spend a couple of minutes linking to all of the pages that I will use frequently- such as minor league and major league lineups and rotations, waivers/DFA and the disabled list, the personnel page, and things like that.

I guess if all these pages were accessible with literally one click for anywhere in OOTP I would be fine with doing away with the bookmark system. As it is, though, when a league gets very large and the older computers start to slow down a bit, it means a lot to be able to click a link to the page you need.
