 * Hi,
 * I noticed this the other day (when I was using 2.0, and then 2.1.0, and 2.1.1)
   but my main theme keeps getting reset to the default theme.
 * I have made sure that the theme switcher includes the main theme I want, and 
   yet still it goes back to the default.
 * Is there anything I can do to fix this?
 * Richard

 * Just wanted to add that when I select the theme I want in the admin Presentation,
   it seems to last for at least 5 minutes, before reverting to default (or none
   if I have removed the default theme).

 * I too am suffering the same problem whereby my theme suddenly changed back to
   the default.
 * I removed default and classic from my themes directory and visited my site this
   morning to discover that it wasn’t displaying anything and that the themes folder
   was empty (even though there was at least one theme in the directory).
 * I copied the default theme into it, and it displayed the themes again, along 
   the theme I’ve been using.
 * It’s bizarre and extremely annoying!

 * I have been having the same problem, but have not yet found a satisfactory answer.
   Check out this post for a similar problem, esp. toward the end. Perhaps some 
   of it will help you, but it hasn’t helped me yet. Good luck!
