Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Have the latest updates to the YA site and to our Yahoo Profile (Pulse) changed our 'updates' settings?

My settings have been set to NOT SHARE updates, but when I answer, I now see the 'share update' checkbox checked as default. Did recent updates reset our defaults? Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an option on our Yahoo Answers profile any longer to NOT SHARE updates. Glitch or update?

Update:

Thanks, all. Guess I was too busy to notice the blog posting. At least when I uncheck the box, it seems to stay unchecked.

    As we mentioned in the blog post here, we are making some changes to the Updates feature:

    http://yanswersblog.com/index.php/archives/2010/06...

    It should respect previous settings that you had, is the little checkbox next to the Y! logo ticked? It will only broadcast your update if this is ticked, if not, it will not share it. You can change this on a question by question basis or on an answer by answer basis now.

    If you want to manage your settings, you need to use the "Manage Updates" link to the right of this widget. That will take you to your Yahoo! Pulse (formerly known as profiles) and you can manage it in there. If you turn it off there, you will still see the widget but as mentioned before, you will only broadcast content if the box is checked.
