If it is unnecessary (as it most certainly is in this case) then it is one
scroll too many.

If the sideways scroll bar appears for you on 1028 then that is reason
enough to look into it and make it go away. I suggest for your purposes, no
side scroll should appear for anything more than 800 at least... For a
start, you allow miles too much for the width of the nav side bar (which
never flexes down no matter how one resizes) and/or too much margin for nav
part...

While at it btw, you may spot your other trouble.

As you please though...
