Hey guys,

I've been working on my portfolio redesign for some time now and I'm having trouble getting my content centered.

My landing page is here: http://bit.ly/gk0aPz

When you click through to the "writing" section, you'll notice my content shifts 2-3px to the left.

I am guessing this is because of the scrollbar being present on the "writing" section.

Any idea how I can get it to be perfectly center?

Thanks!

I'm not seeing the page shift at all with fire fox and everything looks centered other than the images. I went to your link them click on writing?

Not sure m8

I get it on Firefox, Chrome and IE 8. It's a very tiny shift (2px). Try clicking back and forth between writing and the landing page quickly and it's more apparent.

Its not doing it for me. Its not a visual thing either I check it using screen shots.

Its center on my end.

Strange but here is a screen shot.

Hmm. I wonder if this has to do with my visual styles. I run Windows 7 x64 and I have the theme set to classic.

Here's Chrome, Firefox and IE8:

Anyone else seeing this?

Edit: Nope, not visual styles. Still have the problem with aero. I have reproduced the problem on Safari as well.

hmm I don't think i'll be any help as i'm on a lap top with a 1600x900 screen res. Your landing page is taller than 900px so i'm showing a scroll bar on both pages.

I guess that's why I'm not able to see the issue.
I've never ran into this before but can you just force a scroll bar on your main page?

That way it would at least match the rest of your site.


I found this on a good search it seems pretty straight forward.
