Footer background-color problem.

So when Nick applies the orange background color to his footer, it spans the the whole screen perfectly. But when I do the exact same, it doesn't span the whole page, the screen still allows me to scroll to the right, where there's still a white remainder. I wish I could screenshot and show you.

But I'm not sure now what to do and how I can fix this.

Any help would be high appreciated.

Thanks, Reg.

To be able to help you identify the problem, it is necessary to see your code. Can you share your code or - if done in the Treehouse workspace - provide the link to the forked workspace.
