Hi there,

The content is positioned absolutely in order to achieve that layout effect on desktop machines. What this means is that you're not scrolling the body of the page, but you're actually scrolling the content div. For some reason, iOS doesn't maintain the "inertial scrolling" effect it has for body scrolling when scrolling div content. Not sure why, but that is a byproduct of achieving this unique layout effect.

Hope that helps explain the reason for that.

Best,

Chris

Thanks for a great theme!

I just updated the photopharm theme so that I can have a mobile version. Everything went great, however my client is complaining that scrolling on an iPhone feels unnatural, it seems as though the "inertial scrolling" is not working.

This seems to be the case on your vanilla demo site as well. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks for your time!
