Being "that guy" is actually helpful!

Thanks for your comment, leeoniya, but I'm not a skilled web designer, and I'm an even worst developer.

Since I did the website on my own and can't afford having someone doing it for me, I'll try to correct it the best I can.

It just might take me a while.

Cheers!

thanks. the solution is rather easy.

1. stop using the jquery.nicescroll plugin

2. set your ".col3" div to "overflow: auto" instead of "overflow: hidden"

The worst side-effect is the middle-click + move mouse up/down to scroll doesn't work. It completely kills that.

If you're "that guy" I am too.

And please don't fck with my back shortcut.

Is that what was wrong? The article wouldn't even scroll until I enabled Javacript, and then it was so fidgety I had to abandon my trackpad and use the arrows. Very frustrating.

Agreed. I'm surprised no one seems to notice how non-native scrolling in Atom is.

Yes. The scrolling hack is very dissapointing. I only got through the first section before scrolling problems rendered the page unreadable on my phone.

Since you started the pile-on...having nothing be the visual indicator that something is a link is a terrible design decision. Are readers expected to run their mouse over the body of the text to haphazardly find which words are links?

This comment made me go back and play hunt-the-link :( Not a fun game, totally agree what an awful design. I don't like the strikethrough on hover either!
Re:Bezier Curves and Type Design: A Tutorial by StavrosK on Monday May 12, 2014 @08:24AM (#7732291)
To be fair, there are no text links in that article (except "Pedro Amado", which, indeed, has no visual indication that there's anything special with it).

My point exactly...you missed:

> For more information on inflection points, have a __read here__

If I hadn't seen that sentence, and thought, "what's here?", I wouldn't have even guessed that there were any links in the article.
