Greetings.
I'm attempting to install nodeBB on a Webfaction node and is slowly making headway. I have never been a "web person" and the transition from typical LAMP based setup is a lot to take in, but the rewards look promising.
Now to the problem:
I installed nodeBB 0.7.0 via npm and slowly but surely gotten things to spin up. However, when I started nodeBB a lot of the plugins that came with the install seem to conflict with the forum. I followed the various tips and hints and ended up removing the lot. Now I'm stuck with nodebb-theme-vanilla not playing nice:

nodebb-theme-vanilla:
$ grep version node_modules/nodebb-theme-vanilla/package.json
"version": "1.0.130",
Any atempt to grab the latest release from github breaks horribly and nodeBB refuses to start. I take it that's due to the theme being developed for a more recent version of nodeBB.
I have updated everything Node related by npm and 'nodebb upgrade'. I have noticed that I suddenly have a node_modules_0.6.x directory alongside the regular node_modules in nodebb/. No idea where that came from and I haven't touched it.
Any pointers?
