Hi - I'm sorry to post this here as a GitHub issue, slightly off topic, but this is the easiest for me to get in touch with you right now: When I "Sign In" on https://forums.ushahidi.com/category/smssync, and use GitHub, Google or Twitter OAuth, it fails with "Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have. Error code: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" on https://forums.ushahidi.com:80/auth/twitter/callback?oauth_token=aV9ZugzhGqmcn654m68cDDbYnNYWBTOL&oauth_verifier=FAxJLjOagOeBtd5T2FZi22X3pHqxFtsT (or always saying "Sorry, there was an error authorizing your Github account. Perhaps you did not approve authorization?").

PS: I'm on a hotel WiFi, but I doubt that's the cause, because I can use other sites normally.

I suspect you're behind a proxy server that is blocking the authorization URL sent by the forum to GitHub, Google and Twitter OAuths. Not sure how to fix that.

Problem is here: https://forums.ushahidi.com:80 trying to connect to port 80 with SSL is not right and will never work. SSL should be port 443. Best would be no port attached to the URL at all. Not sure if this is a misconfiguration in Discourse or on our end.
