Public lists showing as private

All of my lists are set to public but are seen as private when viewed by others or in an incognito browser. 

Example:

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls591043244/

Hello @LocksOfChaos,

I've fixed your lists. Make sure that your list privacy settings are set to public. 

To update privacy settings for a list, go the list's edit page (see FAQ) and use the toggle on the top right of the screen. Toggling the setting to "Private" means that only you will be able to see your list; "Public" means that any IMDb user will be able to see your list.

Please check them and let us know if you experience the same issue.

I am certain that my lists are set to public and when I look at them in a browser that I am not logged in or in incognito, the come up as private

Yes, they are all public now. I also created a new one to test that and it was good to go as well. 

Thanks for your help!
