 * Two sites, same Weaver theme, suddenly developed horizontal scroll issues and
   folks in other forums have not been able to figure it out. The two sites are 
   [traditionalgolfsociety.com](http://traditionalgolfsociety.com) and [persimmontour.com](http://persimmontour.com)
 * Thanks in advance for any help!

 * no scroll issues on the ‘persi..’site;
 * on the ‘tradi..’ site, possibly caused by the positioning of:
 * `#site-description { width:50%; text-align:left; clear: both; float: left; position:
   absolute; margin-left: 600px; margin-top: -14px; }`
 * or more specific by the `width:50%;` – replace with `width:330px;`
 * just out of curiosity:
    how can a change to the styles, which does not happen
   by chance, lead to: ‘suddenly developed horizontal scroll issues’ ?

 * The persimmontour.com site did have a horizontal scroll but it went away. Can
   this be browser specific? I use IE9, Chrome, Dragon, and firefox. Must be like
   the car problem, when you get to the professional at the shop the problem disappears.
 * Clearly I’m a newbie and by ‘suddenly’ it refers to suddenly I noticed it more
   than suddenly it occurred. What do you mean by change to the styles? If you mean
   changing the style.css file, no intentional changes were made that I know of.
   Maybe something I did caused a change but I have learned not to touch the style.
   css file.
 * I am unable to find the #site-description code in style.css exactly as you indicated
   but I did find this below and you will see that the width is not 50%, so probably
   I am finding the wrong #site-description:
 * #site-description {
    clear: right; float: right; font-style: italic; margin: 
   14px 0 18px 0; width: 220px; }
 * Thanks so much for the help and the patience. I apologize for being so dense 
   at this but one day I’ll learn.

 * the styles, i mentioned, are in style-weaver.css which (as far as i can guess–
   i am not too familiar with that theme) is the dynamically generated style file;
   
   you might possibly be able to change that from within the theme options section
   in the dashboard (?)
 * the theme seems to have its own forum at [http://wpweaver.info/forum/](http://wpweaver.info/forum/)
