Half Pint Posted October 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2018 How can I turn off my Activity Stream? I don't like that everyone can see everything I've been doing, laid out in a list, for the taking. It's creepy and invasive. There has to be a privacy setting to turn it off I'm somehow missing.

Globaliser Posted October 22, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Which Activity Stream are you referring to? Is it a list of all the posts that you've made? If so, that's always been available via Search. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I think under you cc id top right click there then MANAGE FOLLOWED CONTENT You will see a box then in each message there is a button Change preferences There is one option to "let others see that I follow this" uncheck the box & update or you can just click UNFOLLOW There are more settings under Account settings that may work better for you I am still figuring this out myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a way to turn off the setting so people can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I still can't work out which page you're looking at. The closest that I find to what you're describing are "Half Pint's Profile" and "Half Pint's Content". But both of those pages only show things that you've publicly done, other than the Profile page showing which forum you were last looking at.

I'm quite sure nobody would opt-in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest to god, navigating a website should not be this hard. I never actually went through with it, once you click the check box and pick all on a desktop you get this at the bottom of the screen which is where you change, I just assumed it would be the same dialog, not a new dialog. The good news is you can pick 15 or 30 or whatever and then do a global change Edited October 23, 2018 by AlanF65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only you can see your Activity Streams. If you are referring to the content listed in your profile, posts and posters are public. Was the same in the previous system. If you are creeped out by the fact that others can read what you post, don't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is people want to choose whether others can see if they are looking at Alaska or solo travel or whatever when they are online. If someone can see me in a roll call and see me in CA and see me leaving next week and put a bunch of pieces together there are privacy and safety concerns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they should not be posting this information in a public forum, i.e. don't join a roll call. Besides, the vast majority of people are essentially anonymous as they have a username that does not identify them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution is quite simple, do not post if you do not want others to see the results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without him posting, you can see when AlanF65 is looking at a specific roll call. Just like you seem to be interested in a ship getting a new itinerary, while when I started typing this you were looking at flight connection times. Those are quite general subjects anyone might like to read. If you'd have been looking at a specific roll call I wouldn't have mentioned it . Yet, CC thinks everyone should be seeing you looking at a roll call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted October 23, 2018 #20 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Agree completely...navigating this new version shouldn't be such hard work. Why isn't it user friendly for those of us that aren't such techies.....I just returned from being away from my desktop and am so disappointed to come back to this mess. CC was always so informative, friendly and easy to use...NOT any longer. What were they thinking ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Half Pint Posted October 23, 2018 Author #21 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Thanks for the attempted help. I'm out and moving on from CC after 9 years. I'll stick with the RCCL blog forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Rare LauraS Posted October 24, 2018 Administrators #25 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I am working on all of the above. This feature is "out of the box" and I'm searching to turn it off. I agree, I don't get why anyone needs to know what post I'm reading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
