Using skin has no effect

Theodore Pham

No matter what skin I try to use, the css stylesheet stays pointed to /stylesheet.css?63541bed (White Plum). I am using the default Lavender theme on NodeBB 0.6.1. The theme version is 0.2.13. Any skin I apply says to restart nodebb. I wait a while, then hit restart in the dashboard.

There seems to be no error when I restart in the dashboard, but I am running with systemd and there is an error if I try to stop it there:

I am running in systemd with ExecStart set to /srv/nbb/.local/bin/node loader.js --no-silent --no-daemon
It never creates pidfile in the working directory, /srv/nbb/nodebb. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Theodore-Pham -- skins are not usable on Lavender, only Vanilla and Persona. Sorry about that!

Persona itself is compatible with NodeBB v0.7.0 only, so you could consider upgrading, or using the vanilla theme, which is similar to Lavender.
