Just to add: I’ve noticed problems with Chrome before (e.g., the “jerky lag” of the fullscreen slider), but actually the current homepage was fine until I tried to remove the copyright info in the footer. I restored it, but the problem remained. (I actually don’t need a site-wide copyright notice as such because only the individual authors on the site have copyright notices. Everything we write not subject to our publisher’s claim we’re glad to share via the creative commons license).

Hi Devin! Apologies: I thought /author and the username that followed was generated by the theme, since I had not previously seen (or at least remember seeing) /author in my previous themes. I’ll look into it further, as you suggest. Thanks!

Hi Devin. What you say makes good sense. Moreover, I’d think most people would intuitively scroll anyway. But I thought again when I saw that the Google and the Twitter folks were not assuming as much (then again, they have no menus up top on those sites and no buttons on the slide).. Actually, it’s no biggie, unless of course it becomes a biggie.

Thanks again–will do as you suggest.

Hi Yigit. That’ll do it. Thanks..

Added (likely related) information: I tried adding the css given here just to see what it would look like: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/making-header-background-and-menu-background-more-transparent/

Header remained the same on all browsers. Absolutely nothing changed (this with the previous css deleted). So I’m figuring something’s going on with the header–just hoping it’s not a conflict with a critical plugin (though nothing indicates it is). Thanks.

Ok, thanks. Now shrinks to a more moderate size in Firefox and Chrome, but not in IE (11). Haven’t tested on mobile.
