I just want to have a normal safe encrypted connection to this web site:
 https://forums.mtbr.com/

But I get this error which is what I'm asking you about:
http://i.cubeupload.com/pNM36t.gif

The error in words is:
 Your connection is not secure.
 The owner of forums.mtbr.com has configured their website improperly.
 To protect your information from being stolen, Tor Browser has
 not connected to this website.
 [Advanced]
 forums.mtbr.com uses an invalid security certificate.
 The certificate is only valid for the following names:
 cloudfront.net,*.cloudfront.net
 Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN
 [Add Exception...]

Should I press "Add Exception"?
All I want is to log into the site in a secure encrypted way.

I'm not sure what is the RIGHT thing to do.

What I did was press the button to download the certificate.
Did I need to do that?

Then I pressed the button to confirm the certificate.

After a bunch of warnings it let me in with dashes along the http.

Did I do the right steps?
How do I undo what I did if not?

Can someone just explain what is going on to a networking noob?
