What do I have to put in my agent string for this site to recognise me as a Slackware user?
 

The title says it all. I want that little blue mask in my profile.

I think adding the word "Slackware" is sufficient.

Not really, even a few years back prior to jumping over to Palemoon from Firefox, it stopped working - Palemoon doesn't work either so I gave up and stopped caring about something so inconsequential anyways.

This used to work for me...
...but doesn't appear to now. Hmm.

EDIT: Now it shows up when I look. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT2: I have to refresh the page after I post or edit a message.

I want it too! Now I am tempted to test it...

Edit: Obviously did something wrong...
Edit 2: Yay! It works!

Looks like alekow put slackware first and only. that might be the trick. now I got a try it.

Sadly, it's not working for me. :(

AH! Yes it is! :)

I do not see mine working :( what a do to get yours working???? ..

editing post.... done

I got a ? refresh then it went back to tux...

NOTE: As someone said above, it only shows on your newly created posts or on edited posts. The older posts in the system remain with the generic penguin icon.


Luck with it!

Hmmmm - here goes!

Worked for me!
Had to create the general.useragent.override string first.

Yup. We posted almost simultaneously.

Thanks for this. Got it working as well.

? ? ?

If I wanted that, I would just ask the site owner. There's a forum section for that.

For those that may be interested. I use Firefox.

There is an add-on called "Custom UserAgent String". This add-on allows you to specify the User Agent string on a site by site basis. As for what needed to be in the User Agent string, probably everyone has already figured it out though, is "Slackware" (case insensitive)

This is my normal UserAgent string:
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0"

This is what is currently listed in Custom User Agent for this site:
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Slackware"
