It seems my firewall settings have been reset, now every time i use applications that use internet im prompted to allow. This is no worry to me....the worry is the following.......

Will this mean I have to forward my ports again?

Since your firewall was reset, that means all the settings were reset so yes, you will have to port forward again.
