It's now gone down for me!

And using https: gives a "Bad Gateway" error.

I can now access the forum but not the main site or the tbbqm , the reason for asking if anyone knew if it was going to HTTPS  was when i tried accessing  from a google search it redirected to CloudFlare and was trying to connect using HTTPS, from info on their forum it appears to be some maintenance

Ah, thanks for the clarification, Tommy. I was originally a bit "Huh?" when I read your opening post.

Looks like the answer is a resounding Yes.

All, presumably, to help feed the great gods of SEO.

Long overdue an update, shame the forums are not being updated,  but that may come with time, one bit at a time is safest of couse.

It's working absolutely fine for me. Try unsubscribing and subscribing again (I presume you have changed the URL to https://www.thinkbroadband.com/news.rss - https not http)

Yes, thank you. I've now tried that three times and the end result is a consistent "Live bookmark feed failed to load."

What software are you using to read the feed?

Edit: Just realised you are almost certainly trying to use Firefox's Live Bookmarks - just tried it and it's failed with the same message.

I'm trying with Firefox ESR 52.1.0 (64-bit), as shipped with RHEL-6, and there was no problem reading the news feed before the TBB site upgrade.
