Confused by behavior of ListLogPlot in Mathematica 10

Question

I have a notebook I originally created in Mathematica 8, where the following (simplified) code worked fine.

ListLogPlot[Table[{1.2 z, z^2}, {z, 0., 3., .25}], PlotMarkers-> None, 
   FrameLabel -> {"z(nm)", "\[Tau](z)"}]

However, when I run this code in the upgraded version it produces a plot that shows no frameticks or tick labels! If I save the plot, and upload it to the friendly people at StackOverflow to show my problem, everything looks fine, like so:

However, in my actual notebook, it looks like this (from a screenshot)

Note, it makes no difference if I include FrameTicks->Automatic in my ListLogPlot command.

At the top of my notebook I set

SetOptions[ListLogPlot, Axes -> None, Joined -> True, Frame -> True, 
GridLines -> None, PlotStyle -> Table[{Thickness[.0075], ColorData[1, i]}, {i, 1, 20}], PlotMarkers -> {Automatic, 20}, 
LabelStyle -> {Automatic, FontSize -> 22, Bold, Black}, PlotRange -> All]

which never created a problem in v8. What the heck is going on here? How can I get the frameticks to show in my notebook?

Answer 1

$Version

"10.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (September 10, 2014)"

The default option values are

Options[ListLogPlot, {Axes, Frame, Joined}]

{Axes -> True, Frame -> False, Joined -> False}

So there should be Axes rather than a Frame and no line

ListLogPlot[Table[{1.2 z, z^2},
  {z, 0., 3., .25}],
 PlotMarkers -> None,
 FrameLabel -> {"z(nm)", "\[Tau](z)"}]

Try this

ListLogPlot[Table[{1.2 z, z^2},
  {z, 0., 3., .25}],
 Joined -> True,
 PlotMarkers -> None,
 Frame -> True,
 FrameLabel -> {"z(nm)", "\[Tau](z)"}]
