If you are on a fork you don't necessarily need to reload the blockchain.
It may reorganise itself, provided you are on the latest client.
I am back to one connection (using the nodes above) and my wallet is not syncing; I am definitely on a fork and its strange I cant connect to others.
There is a question as to what is the latest client: I have 8.5.1 - is this the latest one? I'm seeing some 8.5.2 going around: would this solve my problem? Where can I get 8.5.2?
The OP still points to 8.4.1.
Latest one is 8.5.3 with patch6 as written above. Links are also above.
