Making browser scroll after certain point.

Hi Everyone,

I have the following issue (see attached image). When the div containing the list items of "find people...choose a topic...start talking" gets really tall (as the browser width is decreased), it runs into footer. How can I make it so that, at a certain point, you have to scroll down to see the footer so that that the list items don't interfere. Make sense with what I'm trying to do?

If you are floating the elements above the footer and not applying a clearfix you are experiencing collapsing margins. What you need to do is apply the class "clearfix" to the parent container of the floated content. Here is the css you will add for the clearfix class:

.clearfix { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; }

You'd have to share your code for us to make an informed recommendation, but maybe try add some bottom padding to the container just above the footer?
