Hey @lee , just to add to this what @djuber pointed out to me, which is that liquid tag requests to GitHub from Forem

falls the most strongly under the "act as a user" category of that "differences" table

Which confirms to us that Forem needs to have GitHub apps configured for OAuth, and this will hopefully solve your issue. Dan also reminded me that users who signed in using GitHub before may have to reauthorize OAuth because it will technically be a different app. We don't know yet whether that will result in users being assigned new accounts, but if this becomes an issue then please loop us back in for additional assistance.

Heya, just checking back in on this one as I had to set it up again. Just confirming that if I need both Oauth and Liquid tags enabled then I need to go through the GitHub Apps creation (which also does oauth) rather than just the Oauth option. (the top option this list).

ouath

If that's the case then should documentation for github be updated to reflect whether the forem creator wants liquid tags or just auth?
