.gallery li:nth-child(2n+1) {
clear:none;
}
to the 1024 media query.

Manythanks

18,943 PointsHi, It's a problem whit the box model, that adds the 2px border on hover. To fix this add this rule to your stylesheet
* {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
I hope this help! :D
