thanks!
all good now.
I hadn't noticed that the header.tpl template had been changed here:

Hello all,
What is the proper way to copy/clone a theme to make changes to?
I previously copied and pasted nodebb-theme-persona under a different name and modified theme.json. It appeared to work fine until I updated to 1.5.1. For some reason nodebb-theme-persona could not be updated and NodeBB wouldn't start. Finally after deleting my copy I was able to update nodebb-theme-persona.
@marvnfl best way is to create a child theme. By creating a child theme you only need to supply the templates you are changing in your theme.
Try this https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-quickstart
This provides basics and instructions to create a child theme based on some existing themes.
