I'm guessing because you're fresh to DF you just didn't move your goods.

q>move cursor over depot>g
Navigate the menu and select all the goods you want to trade with enter. Leave the menu.
Wait for your dwarves to haul everything to the trade depot.
q>cursor over depot>t>do the actual trading (select goods on your side and theirs and hit t to attempt a trade. Adjust offer if needed)

As said above, there has to be a path from your goods to the depot. And because you say you've entered the trade screen, I assume you don't have problems with getting your broker/any other dwarf into the depot to do the actual trading.

Yes well, while my civ might SOUND like a lesbian into bdsm, I googled it and sadly its nothing that fun:

Dike may reffer to:
A natural or artificial slope or wall to regulate water levels, called levee in American English
A ditch, a water filled drainage trench
A regional term for a dry stone wall
Dike (geology), a subvertical sheet-like intrusion of magma or sediment

Maybe its the water? I had a necromancer die in a pool of water and drop a book. I can see it on my (l)egendary items list, but when I loo(k) at the spot, its just water and mud... -.-

Got ambushed by goblins, didn't have any military worth mentioning, ordered everyone inside and battened down the hatches. So the goblins spend a couple of months outside in the cold and rain. Then a dragon, of all things, shows up! Goblins charge it, dragon charges back, 3 breaths later, deep fried goblin! Dragon took some hits from the bolts though.

Again, couple of months later, zombie siege! Now THAT was amazing to watch! Of course all the zombies charge the dragon from all sides (they spawned all over the edges of the map), dragon keeps running around willy-nilly breathing fire on everything. I look up at the unit list for the necromancers, find 2, zoom to them, both are in pools of water! O.o I did not know the game was that smart. I keep observing the necromancers, sure enough, they keep darting from water to water only, resurrecting anything they see. Meanwhile, the zombies trigger another ambush. So now there is a GOD DAMN three-way as all the parties are hostile to each other. I break out the popcorn. Goblins put on a good fight, but get overpowered. Meanwhile the dragon eventually catches both necromancers (serpent men) out in the opening, and once the source is gone, the rest of the zombies get cooked. Dragon did take a beating though. Plus all his fat is gone from every body part. I'm guessing it melted in its own firebreath heat. (DAMN I love this game).

Dragon chills around for another 6 months, I get a migrant wave. Because there is no entry into my fort, due to the mother f-ing dragon, they just stand on the edge, while the dragon rushes in. One migrant manages to get a bolt off before all the migrants are roasted. The dragon has trouble breathing! I hope it suffocates. That would make it SO awesome, all my problems would've solved themselves.

All the gray areas are ashes due to dragons fire breathing.

CAN he equip a mace? Maybe he has lost his hands? Or has grasping impaired? Check under his health if you have a chief medical dwarf, if not, looking at his body parts/wounds screen might give you an idea if hes injured.

I suggest you build some sort of killing device at the entrance to your fort. Like an atom smasher. Then make a burrow on the kill zone and assign your unwanted migrants to it. Smash em. Its common practice to get rid of unwanted migrants. Said atom smasher can also be used in defense when sieged or just to wall yourself off from the world. As long as you have a good enough stockpile of wood, you can survive underground indefinitely (even without wood, you can chop down mushrooms in the caverns!).

Perhaps you were playing an older version?
