Looks like I fixed my issue.

Windows Vista

Open Windows Task Manager > Use it to force close BS application and process > Restart wallet > Accept database reset > Sit around and watch while 104 days of blocks get synced :)

I think you are doing a great job imparting a sense of community; It may be our individual investments on the line, but there are a lot of other people in the same boat with us. If we all pull together and keep a sense of good humor, then we have a much better chance of making it to that distant shore.

I'll look forward to reading your update every day. Your humorous anecdotes about your Chinese community are very entertaining, and somehow comforting.

I've had that same problem since installing 0.4.23.1 (32bit Windows). A minute after starting the wallet it will just go to "Not connected".

So far none of the addnodes have done anything. Reinstall didn't help either.
