I don't know about that but I believe that if what you are saying is true it must have been programmed and don't also forget that we only use two devices frequently to access the internet which is a mobile device and a PC. You should take your time to navigate round the forum and look for boards of your interest and start learning so that you can gain knowledge and grow in the forum by contributing quality discussions that will be helpful other forum members. Your first post will give your three badges automatically.

Also learn what karma is. We have two types of karma, positive karma and negative karma. You get positive karma when you produce great posts that are useful to the forum. Your good contribution and positive karma is what will earn you a reputation in the forum. And negative karma is when you misbehave and go against forum rules.

Welcome to the forum.

I am saying true because I have checked the badges and my profile settings from top to bottom. I have spent time on learning the badges and other things and I did not find how this forum knows what device I am using and what other types of information this forum is getting from us. Thanks for the advice I will try to contribute with quality discussions. Thanks for welcoming me.

ok so this forum must be getting our user agent information and then using a tool like this website have and then finding out which device we are using. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for sharing the rules link but I already read it. This information is on top of the page when I signed up I read all of those threads and some make sense some not but with time I will get around them. Thanks for giving me an overview of karma I will try to get as much as I can.

You guys were helpful

I am very interested to see what we can learn from you because every newbie to this forum has a specialty and a particular thing they have to contribute if only they would remain original and express themselves on topics that they know about properly. As a new member of the forum who has the intention to learn, I advise you to comment on topics that you are familiar with, and then when you get to topics that you have no familiarity with, it becomes advisable that you just read through and try to learn from others for the future.

Have you Linux user ? Or Have you used the mobile device for accessing this altcointalk forum ?
Forum knows that what device you are using maybe by the cookies or the program set on based your display.
Anyway I haven't used the Linux OS but it is still show that batch, I don't know the reason may be admin can clarify this. Or you can move this topic to the Forum related board.

First of all I welcome you to this forum, may your journey in this forum be happy. However, I don't know much about the topic you have raised, as I am also some new new in this forum, I have only been here for a month.

Like you, I have mobile user badges on my profile, but mainly I work on PC. I only opened my account on mobile when I opened it, that's why my profile is showing mobile user badges. You also post on mobile so mobile user badges appear on your profile, but I don't know much about how they identify this.

Perhaps that how the admin or the owner of this community set up everything here, they can identify everything, from the OS, to other information. Why you ask though? are you afraid that the community knows that you are a Linux and mobile user?

Some of us might be using the same, but still though, we tend to stay here to learn and obviously since this is a community, we will have to communicate and have conversation.

In any case, welcome to the community!!!

When you go to a website, the browser makes a request to the website you are visiting, and the website's server replies with a response. Inside that request, it sends something called a User Agent, which is a text string that contains your browser version and your operating system name and version and stuff like that.

So Altcoinstalks must be reading your user agent and is deducing which OS you are using from there. Including if you are using Android or iOS.

cookies file does not contain page visited, login details, search History and the data that is shared by the user so knowing the type of operating system is done via http.
I do not see a Linux user sign at the bottom of your icons.

Yeah, this is basically how you get different designs of the same website depending on your screen size and software

I am not judging you or trying to offend you but dear fellow you must reply in a contribution as OP want to know how this forum knew he is using which device and you are just expanding the same words. I hope you won't mind me. I am only sharing this because it can lead you to lesser or negative karma if other members found it spammy.

You are right, I don't think this forum requires us to allow cookies means AFAIK this forum has no cookies system right? I just checked my cookies and this forum have none on my side while BTT does have some cookies.

No, the forum needs to allow cookies, otherwise PHPSESSID will not recognize your device and will ask you to log out.
There are some other files, such as ALTT10, but if you are using a browser such as Tor, they will be deleted after closing the window.

I am here to learn from all of you guys and I can see learning is not the only thing we can do here because this forum owner like to focus the interest of every member toward making money. I saw the description at the end of the page where the owner has emphasized that we can discuss about tokens and coins and members can join airdrops and ICO etc. I am not here to join any of those at least for now. But to learn what is really happening on this forum. Why people love to spend their time here. There must be some interesting thing.

I will keep your advice in mind. But as you can see someone gave me negative karma which means I did something wrong right? But what I did wrong?

I did not use Linux OS but I did use mobile and desktop to visit the forum. I now know how the forum knows what device I am using and what Operating system I am using. I read an article about how sites can know such things and thanks to Yamane_Keto his reply helped me know how this forum could know such information. It's not only this forum but every forum and every site with HTTPS that can get such information.

Is there any chance that you are also accessing this forum from the Tor Browser maybe it has to do something with the Tor browser's setting that this forum thought I was using a Linux browser.
