Can't ccess KSP Forum past Sept 18th, 2013 on Windows machine

My mac version of Firefox accesses the forums just fine. My windows Firefox, and all other browsers, show threads only to Sept 18, 2013.

Tried reinstalling multiple Windows browsers to no avail. When attempting to access a forum thread via Google search I always get a 404 error.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Windows 7 64-bit

Thanks,

This sounds like a weird error, but I think I have an idea:

Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\ and open the file called "hosts" in notepad (be sure to open notepad with administrator privileges first)

If there's a line that specifies an IP address for the KSP website or forums in there, remove it. You've probably added that there when the forums changed hosts, but never removed it.

Afterwards, open up the command console (start --> cmd.exe) and type 'ipconfig /flushdns' - then try again. Everything should work as expected.

Nothing like calling a professional.

Many thanks KasperVid you were spot on. There was indeed a single entry in the hosts file for the KSP forum.

Flush successful. Forum access restored.

Your money is no good at the Astronaut Complex bar. Drinks are on me :)
