Distribution Icon?


Hi, I've noticed that on the bottom left of each post, some people get a snazzy icon that matches the logo for the distribution they use. But I don't seem to have one. Is this something only available to special accounts? Also, is it based on a pattern match of the "distribution" profile field? I have mine set to "Gentoo", but I don't get a Gentoo icon.

You have to set up the useragent field in your browser correctly.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.17. I'm in about:config, and see that general.useragent.extra.firefox is set to "Firefox/3.6.17". Is that the field I need to change? And what specifically would be the proper format?

Seems to have worked. I changed the "general.useragent.extra.firefox" field to "Firefox 3.6.17 (Gentoo x86)".

Please do not test in this forum. The feature is *very* well tested and if you need to experiment on an individual basis there is a dedicated thread in General for doing so.
