Note that fortifications don't block unit movement unless there's a wall built on the level above the fortifications. I had one of my dwarves go mad, strip all of his clothes off, and run out to sit on my (useless) fortifications to starve/freeze to death. In the heart of Winter.</STRONG>

That made me laugh.

So yah, it's the first year and I have yet to build a trade depot. A dwarf caravan arrived and was like "Oh noes we can't trade with you D:". They waited at the corner of the map for a long time even after the message "The caravan has embarked on their journey." They still stood there. Eventually the merchant went berserk and a merchant sword dwarf killed him. Will the caravan come next year?

Every ranger or hunter immigrant I get never sleeps in his/her room! They always sleep outside or on the ground in the fort. I have friends that has this same problem as well. I've had this problem on 33b and 33a.

I had the same problem. I ended up quitting the fort soon after.

After I killed a horde of monkeys attacking my fort I dumped all their bodies in the local river. But instead of the bodies sinking down to the next z level, they stayed floating on top of the river instead. PIC

One z level below.
 

What do yall think the problem is?

Yah same here.

I had this idea for quite a long time, a idea to fix the dreaded stone problem. If you don't know what I'm talking about I will explain. Every time you mine into rock wall you get rewarded with stone. Stone is a great thing, but when your fortress has stone lying every where, it gets quite annoying. To fix this problem we must not lessen the chance of getting stone, but to make 2 different types of digging.
These are...

d-d Conserve stone Mine: Same old mining that we known through out the ages. The miner conserves the stone when digging into a wall.

d-D Remove stone Mine: This form of mining will take longer to do but the miner will destroy the stone after he clears the wall.

If you need me to elaborate just ask. Otherwise, what do you think?

How did the elves carve out a bin? AND WHY DO ELVES USE MULES TO DO THEIR BIDDING!
