Hi Alex8213, See steps above. Under the Page Settings button there is an option to increase the page width. Some of your graphics are wider than the page width setting. Try increasing the page width to about 1100 pixels. Let me know if you still have problems.

I have read the above instructions to fix the white margins that were showing on my website. I changed the width to 1200 and centered everything, but now there is still a left white margin (as in everything on my page is centered to the right). How can I fix this?

Thanks for the prompt reply! My website is www.sandraws.com. I am working on my home (Index) page as it is the master page and I want changes consistent throughout my other pages. I am using Chrome as my browser. How can I get my website to look the same no matter which browser someone is using to view it?

I looked in Firefox and Chrome and they look the same to me. Can you point out where you see discrepancies? Below is what I see. You can click the picture to enlarge.

Interesting. So....this may be helpful to those that were experiencing the same problem. It was suggested that I refresh the cache (F5) on my page, which did the trick! As it was explained to me, the page should be able to tell when something (pictures, panels) have been updated, but sometimes they just aren't smart enough. F5 for cache refresh is the manual way to do this yourself.
So....for all those out there who have adjusted the margins with no avail...try this.
Thanks for your time Drew N.

It is true about the f5. Actually this is usually a setting in the browser about how often it looks for a new version of the page. f5 says go get it regardless of if it is new or not.

Horizontal scroll not sufficient.
Sitebuilder Plus - Will no longer allow viewing/editing access to right side of pages. Was working fine, now horizontal scroll won't go far enough to see the last inch or so of the pages.

HI Cindy3574 , It looks like you are using one of the older templates which is set at a width of 780px. Since most people are now using monitors and devices with a wide screen format, you can easily increase the width to as much as 1100-1200 pixels. This way it will fill the screen better for most visitors and give you more room for content on your pages.

ok so I have a prety wide monitor and my pixels are set to 1200 and still I have to scroll to see it all. Also I can't see the whole page while working on it on site builder. Frustrated.

Which site and page are you working on? Is 1200 the width you set the Sitebuilder page to? or is it the width setting of your screen resolution?

After reading these posts in hopes of finding an easy solution to my issue in this matter, I've come to realize that after 4 years of requests by others, and plenty of time for Homestead to simplify these issues, it's apparently been decided that they were not that important to address with an update. I first began using Homestead when Homestead only had a total of 500,000 members, and it used to be free to use. With the current state of technology, issues or requests to create a simple solution to address these types of requests should be an easy thing to figure out.

Changing the width and length of a page is not difficult, but it can be different depending on how the page is constructed. If you would like to specify the site and page you wish to change I can give you simple instructions on how to do it.

Well, I've been a member and hacking away at web pages since Homestead was free, and even though there are pages of answers to this issue, tonight I've run into it again. That is, I have run into a maximum page length of 30,000 pixels. I've tried all of the tricks, and that's a hard number. Tried to simply type in a number higher, and it adjusts it right back.

I've adjusted the background element to be at a large height of 3000. However in the Builder I cannot scroll down to see any more of that element. It just stops scrolling. I've tried this on two different computers.
It used to work, I'm not sure what changed.
Thank you in advance for your help!

As I answered on the question you posted, If you want to make your page longer, simply drag elements further down the page.

Hello Anthony.
When this happens, it typically means there is an element that you cannot see, that is causing that page length. I would recommend you change the page width to 10,000 (as wide as it can be) and then zoom your browser out as far as you can. You should be able to see and delete the element. Then, reset your page length to what it was before.

It looks like you just need to increase the page width of your pages. Follow the steps here. A good starting point is about 1000 pixels. You can always increase, or decrease it from there.
Let us know if you have any other problems.

My original question was added to this blog. Maybe I'll ask again:
How can I remove a blank space after removing some content in the middle of a page? Let's say I have 500 pictures on a page and delete # 250. Now I have an empty spot there. How can I remove it short of highlighting 249 picture below the empty spot and try to drag them up a little???
