I bought a theme and used it for this site. The javascript in the theme might hijack scrolling. I will check and fix it. Thanks for letting me know!

Update: Fixed it! There was smoothscroll.js (v1.3.8) in the theme that was causing it. Note to Self: Don't blindly include all theme files :)

I gave up on the site as soon as the scrolling stopped working correctly.

why would you you design a site that breaks simple scrolling?

He acknowledged the problem and said he will address it. Don't be an asshole.

It's doing something very weird in Safari with my MacBook trackpad. Inertial scrolling as expected, but it feels as though everything is happening on a delay.

I'm not inherently opposed to scroll hijacking if it's for a very specific purpose and is implemented in a non-annoying way. Neither seems to apply to this site.
