    So my clients wants to capture some information from users join their mailing list.

    I’m currently using FreeForm from SolSpace to get their name, email address, and their choice on a Yes/No radio button.
    My client would like to know what web browser, OS, screen resolution, etc.

    I’ve shown them that information using the linked Google Analytics, but they want something that can be contained in their database + they also want it ONLY recorded when the user joins a certain mailing list.
    Their interest is in separating members into 2 groups: users who are interested in being notified only when the site goes live.
    and users who want to help with beta testing of the site prior to live launch.

    So when a user/member joins the list and clicks the radio button option for Beta Testing, the client wants the browser, OS, resolution, etc. information.

    ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
    How the heck would I collect this information?
