My announcements page is never more than three or four items long.  If I don't constantly watch the bottom of the screen, I often end up missing job cancellations and animal births, and I can't go back into the screen to check them, because they just disappear.  I don't mean I have to scroll up, I mean they literally disappear and I have no way to look at them.  I have the feeling it's related to the constant vomiting going on among all my animals and several of my dwarves.  Especially since all my combat reports constantly fill up with vomiting and retching.

My question, then, is this:  Is there a limit to the number of announcements/combat reports that can show at once, and are the combat reports and general announcements linked in this?

I believe that the announcements page refreshes itself after a certain period of time. I could be wrong.

they are kept for some time, and you can use the cursor to scroll up

check their wounds and status, was there a FB with a syndrome recently?

Is there a way to turn off the "made a masterpiece" announcement? That spam is making me mad :<

[Garath]

drop the master in magma? no more masterpiece announcements, problem solved

[SauliusTheBlack]

there is a text file in the data folder that you can use to limit what announcements come where and if they come at all, but I do have forgotten which one it is...

Try looking through df/data/init/announcements.txt, finding the relevant announcement type and removing all flags from it.

Ninja'd btw.

Yeah, there was a FB with a vomit-inducing syndrome, which is why my combat logs are full.
