solution - i hadn't removed my custom theme properly. you need to reset to the default theme, remove the link, and use npm rm to completely remove your theme so it doesn't check for it. i'm not sure why my calendar plugin broke as well, or why the bootswatch theme i was using as a base has stopped working either. but the build itself is working.

Sounds like a bug https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/6884

here https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-alignment and https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-simple-spoiler Text and image alignment in the first one, a simple spoiler that allows you to name them and stack them inside each other in the second. Both built for default composer and super plain so you can style them as you like. same as other plugins - they're for my personal site so no guaranteed support.

@am1cable said in [nodebb-plugin-dice-and-numbers] Roll dice and generate random numbers: @Michael-Pfaff I haven't been working on it recently, but I have plans to go through and finish it sometime this year. Will have a look at this while I'm at it! Hey man, I just went ahead and purchased a plugin made by the NodeBB team. We made it open source if you wanna use that. It's here for anyone interested: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-dice

excellent! thank you very much
