Message Settings -- how to change them?
« on: October 01, 2009, 02:53:48 pm »
...really don't know how to ask it...
umm... I'm playing my third fortress, first one lost to goblins, second to magma `fun`.
I think I did it all right this time, it's been 2.5 years, 69 alive dwarves, several of them legendary, goblins can't get past front door, all industries are running nice and I can buy whole caravans with ease (lots of obsidian + legendary stonecrafter == PROFIT!).

but there is one minor `problem`.
at some point, messages like
"<dwarfnamehere> cancels <jobnamehere>: interrupted by <hazardnamehere>"
 and
"<dwarfnamehere> cancels <jobnamehere>: needs <materialnamehere>"
stopped to appear.
jobs are interrupted, but there are NO messages.
I think I accidentally changed something... but I don't know where or what.

searching this forum for "message settings" -- I can't find a direct answer, only mentions like "did you change your message settings?", "when message settings are set to..." -- but HOW do I change those message settings... that's what I fail to find.
anyone please advise...

Press 'o' for orders, then 'x' to change how much gets announced.  You probably switched it to "no job cancellations".
