Why does this stupid updates thing pop up ever time I answer a question here?

Starting yesterday each time I answer a question on yahoo answers this annoying Updates thing pops up warning me my answer will be shared outside of yahoo answers. I click do not show this again but it still shows ever time. What's the deal?

It is the glitch of the week. They know about it and it does not happen to everyone.

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 will keep popping up! I believed it to be a major Yahoo glitch when it first showed up a couple of hours ago, 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...:-(

This is apparently the latest Yahoo glitch and is affecting hundreds of us.
