why does answers keep asking me to login with facebook?

Whenever I submit an answer a popup opens asking me to connect with facebook or something.

Why does this happen and how do I f**k it off?

    For me personally removing the tick next to "Start sharing your updates on Yahoo! to Facebook based on your preferences" at the bottom of the answer solved this (and it doesn't appear as the default on any new answers)

    However if you're still having problems then there's been a solution published on the Y!A Suggestion Board with a (yes harmless) script published to help http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=answers&...

    When you submit an answers there's a checkbox that is now being checked by default. You'll have to uncheck that checkbox to prevent the popup asking you to log into facebook.

    The checkbox itself is not new but being checked by default is new.

    Breathe in deeply and exhale. No violence, no prison time.... Follow me friends to a Facebook free yahoo existence.... Under the sources box there is a prompt to share with Facebook. Before you press submit, Uncheck that box. It should remember your preference. No more pop ups. Good luck.

    Jesus F--king Christ this is annoying. I came here to ask the same thing. I've disconnected every website in my profile and made it hidden and it still won't turn off.

    If you have iCloud, if your signed out it will show login boxes for web sights and domains you are signed out of. If you sign in to iCloud boxes will not show to log into.

    Its happening to everyone here. You can uncheck it but later when you answer it checks itself & it pops up again :(
