Sorry I don’t have any suggestions, since I have the same problem on my installed WordPress blogs – comment settings changing without my changing them. Often “Allow Comments” will be unchecked even though I checked the box when I posted the item. More recently my global settings were set to “Users must be registered and logged in to comment,” which never selected.
I am replying to this in hope that someone from WordPress will address it.
The installed blog that gives me these problems most often is

I’ve had this recurring problem through several versions of WordPress. It’s been the most annoying bug I have encountered thus far, because it goes unnoticed until a reader is kind enough to contact me personally to let me know that it’s happened.
The problem is that the discussion / comments settings change by themselves, from my selected preference that users NOT need to be registered and logged in to comment — to that do DO need to be registered/logged in. That means a lot of folks run into trouble to leave comments, because all of a sudden they need to be registered.
Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
