 * Hello,
    Ive recently installed a new theme (_Khore_ by showthemes) on my [website](http://gymn2016.apps-1and1.net/participate),
   I didnt know back then that this theme removes the browsers scrolling and instead
   implements a Javascript called “Nicescroll” and while quite nice with a mouse
   its useless with trackpads and touchscreens and even terrible on some android
   phones.
 * long story short: **I need to get rid of it**
    Website in question: [http://gymn2016.apps-1and1.net/participate](http://gymn2016.apps-1and1.net/participate)
 * When I simply delete the Files [(jquery.nicescroll.js and jquery.nicescroll.min.js)](http://imgur.com/9kWoGka),
   scrolling stops working entirely, **so i guess i need to do some deeper css work:/**
 * Im not a Web Developer / Designer by any means but I’m willing to learn.
    unfortunately
   I dont know where to start exactly.
 * Any Help to remove this script would be really appreciated.
 * Robin

 * That gave me a smile 🙂 It also stops me from helping some people on the WordPress.
   org forums because I cannot use their website with my laptop.
 * Argh your website is built in a way that it almost must have its own scrolling.
   Surely not! If you know CSS; The majority of the page content has been absolutely
   positioned, so it doesn’t follow a natural flow in the page. The normal scrollbar
   should appear on things if they’re naturally placed.
 * Is there no other way you can contact your theme authors/ vendors?

 * Unfortunately no. I misread some things when I was buying the Theme and I didnt
   choose the support package so I cant submit Tickets, or ask the devs. I also 
   dont want to purchase any Support Package for 50€ because so far I’ve been utterly
   disappointed with this 90$ (!!!) Theme
