[Coriantumr]

My fortress was set upon by a hydra tonight, and so I forbade my non-soldier dwarves from going outside... however I keep getting a non-stop endless barrage of "... xxx cancels store item in stockpile: Forbidden Area" and when I check the jobs list, every single one of my haulers is trying to store things in the wood stockpile.

So I enabled the "Dwarves ignore wood" order in the order preferences, but it seems to have absolutely no effect. I tried going through the job list and cancelling all the jobs, but they just requeue them.

This is only a minor annoyance aside from the fact that the indoor/outdoor line conveniently lies in the middle of my drawbridge, and since there are two dozen dwarves constantly trying to get out and collect wood that I told them to ignore, I can never close it without catapulting them all over the place.

Setting orders doesn't cancel existing jobs, it just prevents new ones.

Make sure that isn't the case.
