I'm running Masterwork, first of all.  I built a moat with no ramps around my entrance, which has a working bridge.  For some reason though, the dwarves outside the moat refuse to actually cross the bridge, and seem to be stuck outside.

screenshot? bridge really working? raising or withdrawing bridge?

also - anyone who knows more about masterwork around?

Definitely raises and lowers.

Sorry about the graphics set.  Anyway, so there's 3 miners just standing outside like idiots.  The weird thing is, that they did cross in order to dig out the channels on the inside (the two ramps next to the bridge), and then just ran back out.  They don't seem to want to do any jobs further in.

Edit:  okay, so they'll go further in to dig a channel if it's nearby, and then run back, either outside the moat or just standing directly on the bridge.  I'm tempted to just fling them across the map and be done with it.  Burrowing and alerts don't seem to work either.

Edit 2:  migrants don't want to come in either.

I'd say try tearing down the bridge and rebuilding it in case you somehow accidentally messed something up.

It's possible that the bridge isn't the problem - can the dwarves inside your fortress reach the surface?

Congratulations on being a frickin' genius xD 
Turns out that for some reason, I accidentally dug a down stair instead of an up/down stair somewhere.  Thanks!

you might have removed up - stairs while removing up - ramps
