I'd appreciate any suggestions or insights on what might be causing this. Could it be theme-related, or is there a hidden setting somewhere I might have missed?
Thank you

The first step you could take is to clear all types of caches (server-side and local) and check again. The second step we suggest is to set up a staging site and test there, or at least check the issue with the default theme enabled and all plugins disabled except wpDiscuz.
Also, please note that all non-addon-related questions should be posted in the wpDiscuz.com forum.
