Hello, I am new to NodeBB and i am trying to play around with it, so I can use with a new project. I cant get new themes to display correctly, every one of them look unstylized for some reason. I have tried to install using npm and also copying the files to the "node_modules" folder manually. I also stop and start my server after each change using ./nodebb stop and ./nodebb start in terminal. Any help would be appreciated for this newbie.
