It's still broken for me. I'm getting:

  Data Transfer Interrupted
  The connection to forums.freebsd.org has terminated unexpectedly. Some data may have been transferred.

This is probably the TLS upgrade mentioned above. On another machine with an updated browser, the forums are rendered correctly for me. (on the broken machine, I have other reasons for not wanting to update)

I don't understand why https is enforced on the freebsd.org server. If I attempt to surf to http://forums.freebsd.org/ I'm redirected to the https site.

I don't really care if my forum surfing is unencrypted and would prefer an http connection.
