    Is it possible to move the scrollbar from bottom of the page to under the scrollable content area?
    Now the scrollbar appears at the bottom of the page, but i want to be shown under the main content area, e.g. right before the footer colophon. 10x

    Hi, you can give this a try, but on my Mac with my Magic Mouse, or on the track pad on my laptop, I can no longer swipe on it to look through the posts. I have to use the scrollbar and pull it left or right. You need to try this on tablets and phones to see if it will work, because they can’t use scrollbars.

    .blog .content-area {
    overflow-x: auto;
}

    The normal scroll bar you typically see at the bottom of your site belongs to the browser, not to the theme, and that one can’t be moved up.

    For me, not being able to swipe on my mouse or laptop trackpad would not be something I would want to put onto my visitors.

    Yeah, I try this, but unfortunately it really stops the content from swiping. However I just use simple css -webkit-scrollbar property to make the scrollbar visible at the bottom of the page in order to indicate that there is something to swipe.
