Can't set up NodeBB from branch that's not master

@Ted Your issue is the same as @Tanner had last week, your CSS file is pointing to

stylesheet.css?{css-buster}

You should have a random string in place of CSS buster. Hopefully if I mention @Tanner enough times, he'll dropin and let you know how he solved it.

Right @Tanner?

@a_5mith, so what you're saying is all I have to do is page @Tanner, and then @Tanner will be able to make the problem go away. I didn't know @Tanner was a magician

Oh, the buster problem. Usually the issue I found was a misplaced : or ; that messed up the code to the point that the buster wouldn't bust. I say usually because it's been a few different problems for me that has caused the buster not to bust in the past, and I've been able to solve it a couple of different ways:

check and see if there are any misplaced colons or semicolons, or any misplacements in the CSS at all
revert to a previous version and make the changes you did after that
wave your wand three times and say the magic words, then restart your NodeBB and check again

Let me know if any of these work, especially the third option because I think it's the best.

@Tanner, there's no custom CSS, so it seems to be something from 0.5.1 of NodeBB.

Also, I'm gonna try my hand at a plugin you requested. We'll see how it works out.

@Ted It could still be a mixup in the CSS either way, even if there's no custom work or not. Could be a plugin, could be the theme, but that's been the major cause of my problems to date.

@Tanner, tee total fresh install, with no plugins. Must be something with the theme then.

I'll scan through in a bit and see if I can spot the issue. Since you've sounded off here, I'm going to try to do the same for you.

Tanner

@Ted I'll also see if I can reproduce the issue with a fresh install and let you know what I come up with in terms of a solution.

So I looked through the recent commits to the 0.5.1 lavender theme and couldn't find a wayward colon, semi or not.

Is anyone else having this issue? If not, I'll just try again from the snapshot before NodeBB.

Our local dev environments are fine (although I do switch back and forth between master and 0.5.1)... Let me start from scratch later today and see.

@julian, I think I fixed this issue. I rolled back to a snapshot before I installed NodeBB and re-cloned the 0.5.1 branch and it installed without an issue and I have sweet, glorious CSS!
