I love to new Trading Guild mission, but selecting the mission is a bit tedious, so:

Why not list the mission's Info on the right half of the screen (that big, blank, UNUSED section) and then replace the "Info" button with an "Accept/Abort" button (depending on whether you're on a mission at the moment). This eliminates a (unnecessary) step, which speeds up mission selections.

Seconded!
Would be nice!

[edit]
It would also make selecting a "good" trade mission faster.

thirded :D

fourtheded, but i'm not exactly sure what you mean. could you draw some pictures? using some screenshots as a base?

Yeah, yeah. I know the interface sucks. Your suggestion has been heard many times before. It is a good one though.

he means so you could just click the mission and it would give the description on the right hand side of the screen and you could just have a button there so accept, instead of it bringing up a whole separate box of info.
