Client calls me and tells me that his public facing application is asking for sign in!

ALL of the public views and form URL's had refreshed there public URL string! All of them!

What is that all about? This is not supposed to happen is it?

Note: I am aware that child forms/views do not inherit the public parent perma views share status.. ALL of my embeds where set to public and ALL of them where changed NOT in my code but in the form/views "settings".
