So your method of figuring out a problem is to insult people or act rude until it solves itself? I mean even a screenshot of an area which a dwarf once said there was no food accessible could help us. Who knows, maybe it's just a bug.

There's two options here, and not one of them is "Insult the developer."  At least Toady says straight up it's still an alpha, and isn't passing off a buggy final release as a finished product (I'm looking at YOU, Bethesda).

Option one: there's a bug, and it's triggered by who knows what.

Option two: There's bug/something you don't know you've done, and it would really help to have detailed screenshots of your fortress layout.  It's very easy to be too close to the situation yourself to see things properly.

finally, please don't be so snide.  There's a lot of nasty forums out there, and this is one of the nicest you'll ever find, but only if you are nice yourself.  The game gets frustrating, but bitch at your dwarves, not the players.

This.  QFT.  If you provide the information we need to know to help, we will.  But if you continue to be an obnoxious idiot, we can't help you and will start ignoring you in short order.

Oh, this so much.

I had this message spamming me earlier today, it was in relation to a dwarf I had locked outside my fort accidentally. He was starving and the guys inside were trying to bring him food but they couldn't path to him. Still got the "no food available" message though.

Dwarf_Fever you are kind of coming off as a bit... less nice than you should be here, I get you are frustrated but as people have pointed out the game is in alpha and is likely to be so for some time, all the things you want are unlikely to be implemented, if that is something you can't handle then you may indeed need to seek other games. Or you could follow the advice of those who are attempting to help and provide some more information on your problem.

Everyone else, it appears the community kind of jumped down his throat a bit more harshly than is usual on this forum, calling someone an obnoxious idiot isn't going to make civil discussion easy either.

Exactly, so that's why I kindly ask Dwarf_Fever to stick his head up his ass so deep he chokes with his own throat.

I didn't think I'd implied as much.  I even said 'please'.    I posted as I did because name-calling wasn't going to help, you're right.
