Just want to let the Screenlane author know, since they're bound to end up over here: I like your site, and I have one issue with it. For some reason, the page is not "focused" when I first load it, so I can't scroll with the keyboard until I "click" on an empty area. As a no-mouse user, this is a moderate impediment to my using it.

Thanks for letting me know, I’ll look into this asap
This should be fixed now
Thank you so much, fixed indeeed!

How did you fix it?

It was a stupid mistake I made in the CSS after lazily copying it over from another site I made which was doing some weirder stuff with horizontal scrolling
Can you please be a little more specific?

The reason I ask is so that I can be more helpful when the issue comes up in other sites

I copied it from a previous site that had some weird scrolling requirements, so the top HTML element had width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow-y: hidden; on it, while the body element had overflow-x: hidden; width: 100%; height: 100%; on it. Getting rid of that fixed the issues (unsurprisingly!).

I can't imagine many other sites made this mistake!

I am a mouse user and I can't wheel scroll. Won't scroll even if I click on the page.

As a UI site, I would fix this asap.
