Yahoo Answers Updates? Still getting pop up box?

I am still getting the pop up box every time I answer a question. It says"an update will be shared outside Yahoo Answers". I have gone into my profile, and put "Do not Share" and also ticked the box "Do not show this box again". All to no avail. Can anyone help as I am getting very frustrated. Thanks!

Update:

Just got it asking this question, would you believe!

    I had that about 2 weeks ago so I know how you feel. It stopped after a day or so so I assume it was just yet another YA glitch.

    Go to your profile and enable or disable the sharing of your questions with users of facebook, twitters and the like. Before you haven't made your choice the bubble may keep popping up! I believed it to be a major Yahoo glitch when it first showed up, especially since I set my profile to private, but then I got a hint. I went to my profile and found out that all my answers were posted there for everybody to see! I just wonder whatever gives Yahoo the idea that somebody would set his questions and answers to <not visible> and then turn around and let the whole world read them on the overall profile...:-(
