I'm not sure. I tried tweaking some things in the console, like removing
"but come back soon" at the bottom of the column. When I did that, the
scrollbar on the middle column disappeared, but one showed up on the

few pixels to the height.

scrollbar on the right column, not the left or middle. Is there dynamic
content?
