How to Stop Quora from Prompting to Post to Facebook Every Time You Answer a Question

When using Quora, users often find themselves growing annoyed by a pop-up prompt asking whether they want to share their answers to questions on Facebook. Even if you are not linked to Facebook or Twitter, you may still receive these prompts, which can disrupt your experience. This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to stop Quora from prompting you to post your answers to Facebook, ensuring a smoother and less intrusive experience.

Why the Prompt is Appearing

Quora may prompt you to share your answers on Facebook even if you have never linked your account to Facebook or Twitter. This can be frustrating, as it forces an action that you may not be comfortable taking. Some users have discovered that disconnecting their accounts from Quora can stop the prompts from appearing, but the results may vary depending on how Quora tests its new features.

How to Stop the Prompt

1. Check and Disconnect Connected Accounts

The first step in stopping the Quora prompt is to ensure that your accounts are not connected to Facebook or Twitter. Here’s what you need to do:

Sign in to Quora: Make sure you are logged in via Google or your preferred method. Navigate to Account Settings: Go to the 'Account' or 'Profile' settings of your Quora account. Look for Connection Options: In the settings, you should see options to connect your accounts to Facebook and Twitter. Disconnect Accounts: If you see any connections to Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, disconnect them. Even if the checkboxes are unchecked, sometimes these connections can still trigger prompts. Save Changes: After disconnecting your accounts, save the changes to your settings.

2. Test the Changes

After disconnecting your accounts, check if the pop-up prompts have stopped appearing. Answer a question and see if you are still prompted to share on Facebook.

3. Check for Updates

Quora is known for regularly updating its features, so it’s important to stay updated on the latest changes. If the prompts continue, there might be a new feature or bug that needs to be addressed. You can check the Quora Help Center or wait for updates from the Quora community.

Community Experiences

Some users have reported mixed results when disconnecting their accounts. Gwen, for example, found that she was not disconnected from her Facebook page when changing the settings, leading to continued prompts. Other users have had success in stopping the prompts by disconnecting their accounts.

It’s important to note that Quora may use test groups for new features, which might explain why some users are not seeing the same results.

Conclusion

While Quora’s feature prompting you to post to Facebook can be intrusive, you can take steps to stop these prompts. Disconnecting your accounts from Facebook and Twitter can be an effective solution, although the results may vary depending on how Quora is testing its features.
