I usually have somewhere around 6-8.

The pop cap is a 'soft' cap.  The number of migrants your fort is set to receive is determined when the dwarven caravan leaves in the fall.  Then you get migrants until the caravan arrives the next fall and checks your fortress wealth vs. the cap.  If the cap has been reached, no new migrants.  If the cap hasn't been reached, you get migrants as normal until the next visit.  That is, if Toady hasn't changed things in the last release.

Problem solved.  I was using version 0.7, 0.8 works fine.

Does anyone know if Dwarf Companion is compatible with 38a?  I can't seem to get it to work and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, or if it's a compatibility issue.  Thanks!

Try Alt+PrintScreen.  Then paste the image into another program, I use Paint.

Edit: Beaten to the post.

You actually don't have to assign meeting halls anymore.  Instead go into the 'i' menu, designate a zone and assign it as a meeting zone.  No more animals where you don't want them.  Just unassign any other meeting halls you may have assigned, otherwise you may still get cows in the diningroom.

If you go into the 'n'obles screen, one of the noble/admin positions listed is "outpost manager".  The corresponding dwarf in that position is your manager.  If you don't have one, then you can assign one by pressing 'enter' or 'r' works also, I think.
