Make list of projects on a profile page scrollable with mouse wheel and scroll bar.

When viewing a profile page with more than 5 or 6 games, they are displayed in a horizontal list. Here is one example: https://itch.io/profile/niftyhat

It would be much easier to navigate the projects list if I could scroll through it with my mouse or with a scroll bar. Here is how my experience went with navigating the list:

At first, I tried to scroll it with my mouse wheel, but that didn’t work. I looked around and saw a red bar at the bottom. Thinking it was a scroll bar I tried to drag it, but the only way to cycle through the list of projects was to click the > arrow on the far right.

From the screenshot, it looks like you’re on a forum profile. If you click “view creator page”, it will display the page in the way intended by a specific creator.

Try clicking your middle mouse button. If your browser supports this, you will have a scroll bubble. It will have left-right arrows for that box.That box is horizontally scrollable, because it has a sideways scrollbar. You might need to click inside the box first.

A mouse with left right scroll buttons should also work.

It is a scroll bar and it can be dragged. Maybe you have some addons in your browser that modify behaviour? Some custom css or things like that? Or you missed the thin red bar?

Huh. That’s odd. It must be something to do with my browser. The scroll bar shows in a fresh firefox profile, but not in falkon. In falkon, I can still use shift+scroll wheel to scroll horizontally, and the bar even goes from pink to red when I hover over it, but if refuses to be dragged!

The css Itch uses is a bit weird. If you test around, also try changing size of the page. Elements on the page are sensitive to the page width and such things. Some even disappear entirely, if your page is not wide enough.

Ohhhh. Why did I not know that you can shift-mousewheel for horizontal scroll...

Is there an option for me to rename this topic to mark it as ‘SOLVED’?

You just did ;-)

(In other words, that's not necessary. This is not a tech support message board with issue trackers and whatnot).
