Moby Dick Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Just noticed that when I'm using my phone to access this forum, which is very seldom, like I am right now, I don't need to log in. So, I'm guessing that I'm never logged out from this device. The issue I'm having is I can't find a way to log out like I do on my laptop/desktop. Any help with this, please. I don't like being permanently logged in or automatically logged in on anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinkm Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 I "clean" my phone every night at the end of the day (clear cache/cookies and run a scan) so I have to re-log-in every time and the site is not really designed for mobile. In order to log in, I have to click the setting "desktop mode" and then everything appears, although very small, and I can then see the log in, so you should be able to log out that way as well.

twangster Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 More importantly once you force a logout, it’s tricky to log back in. Friends don’t let friends logout. leesam82, Moby Dick, Linda R and 6 others 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Go to desktop mode in your phone's browser. There you'll see the logout option. ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends don’t let friends logout. I may be old school but I've always been told by IT personnel to always log out for security reasons (I haven't worked since 2012 so things could have changed since then). I always log out of everything I log into. Just a habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I honestly though I was already/automatically in "desktop mode" because it isn't an app. I'm old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desktop mode says "I don't care if I'm on a tiny screen, just show me what I'd see on a normal screen" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrinkm Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Can you get into the boards first, then put it in Desktop Mode? Also, are you on an Android phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrinkm Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Welp, I don't think I can help you then. Sorry! I'm using Chrome if that makes a difference - maybe it is the browser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWDW1204 Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 @Moby Dick.Just looked at my desktop mode. Did you try clicking on your name? This is what I got in a drop down box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I got in a drop down box. This is not a wise guy comment and I do appreciate your attempt. I just want it known that in Desk Top mode or Mobile mode, there is nothing there. My name, nothing shows up on the top right where you would expect it to be. In fact, there is less there in Desk Top mode than Mobile mode, there isn't even shown the "MESSAGE BOARD" banner at the top. I am perplexed.

Moby Dick Posted July 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Okay okay okay, I found it. As stated earlier, I use duckduckgo as my browser through Chrome. Well, I just went into chrome without using duckduckgo, I put in the address bar "chrome.com", typed in royalcaribbean.com then drop down and "desktop site", and what do you know, the real desktop mode with logout capabilities. THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR EFFORTS! jbrinkm, PPPJJ-GCVAB and RWDW1204 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR EFFORTS! I find this post very confusing. To my knowledge, Chrome and DuckDuckGo are both browsers so you would use one or the other. Chrome.com is a shortcut to google.com/chrome which is a website where you can download the Chrome browser. If you've already got an address bar, aren't you already in a browser? Maybe it would make sense if I've actually used DuckDuckGo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Unfortunately, DuckDuckGo is no longer the "secure alternative" that it once was (or was supposed to be, at least). Amazon bought it so it's just another main stream browser now. BigKarl, teddy and AspiringCruisePlanner 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
