Enable scrolling on mac

So I know that someone already spoke about this issue but they did not provide much information about the issue and i wanted to provide a little more. If you are running on a mac scrolling on the website is disabled. This is the case in safari/chrome/firefox (all up to date). This is the case regardless of whether you are using a usb mouse or the mac trackpad. I have tested this on multiple macs and it seems that this only effects the mac laptops and not the mac desktops.

Basically if one wants to scroll on twiends they need to use the scroll bars at the side of the page (and us mac users get lazy because we have 2 finger scroll everywhere else).

I have not seen other websites with this issue and am not sure how it could happen if I wanted it to. I am able to scroll in frames within the website (such as the the facebook 'like' box that comes up when you click 'twiend') but I am unable to scroll on the page itself.

Lastly, I realize this is not that big of an issue so it isn't that big of a deal. I just want to thank you for making this website and tell you how awesome I think it is. It is seriously genius and we all appreciate the service you provide the social network community.

EDIT: I should add that the mac desktop I was able to test it on is running leopard (not snow leopard the latest os - which may be why it worked on there and not on the laptops). Also I have tested this on about 4 different mac laptops only one of which belongs to me (all running snow leopard).

A little addon here: you can actually scroll on the main page - hover your cursor on the scroll bar. Don't drag. Just scrrrroll :)))
