Morning
Any ideas how I can fix the large strip of white space that appears in Chrome when using this site?

Doh didn't read the full email the link is there lol.
It doesn't do it in Chrome on PC or Mac for me.
I can't see the problem on Chrome 47.0.2526.80 on Windows 10.
It looks like you're logged in in the first screenshot. Does logging out solve the problem?
Have you tried right-clicking on the big white area and saying "Inspect Element"? That should at least get you some idea if there's a silly padding getting set on something.
It happens logged in or not. :/
The usual right click does not reveal any oddity (but then I am not an expert).
There are a couple of plugins to update, I will do that and check again.
Another question!
The big background images on the main pages - what would be a 'typical' or maximum browser resolution? I want to minimise the image size that downloads - it does not do this automatically, and is slowing it all down... So what could I re-size them too?
Rendering Ok on Chrome and windows 7 here as well.
My other half (who does a lot more Wordpress front end stuff - I tend to work on the "hidden" bits) just had a look, she suspects it's probably something funky that Visual Composer is doing from the fact that there are vc- classes in there.
As to maximum image size, it's a tricky one. My monitor's running at 2560x1440, which I think is the same as big iMacs. If you're forced to pick a maximum resolution, that's probably not too far off a good stab. Wordpress is getting support for the srcset tag for images allowing it to pick an appropriate resolution for the users device / window size, but it's still at a reasonably early stage of support.
A media / browser query to pick between a small image for mobile devices and a bigger one for desktops may be a good way forward. As to how you would implement this in Visual Composer - assuming Lisa is correct about your page builder -I've no idea at this stage.
Alternatively a maximum width on your background image may be sensible. The few people who see it on hardware outside the norm will get white bands, the rest will get a reduced file size.
Just my 2p worth.
Rendering okay here too. Something really annoying about scrolling going on though. It’s like it scrolls twice as much as I push with the MacBook trackpad

Background image size, this should help: [url= http://analytics.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/new-feature-conduct-browser-size.html ]http://analytics.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/new-feature-conduct-browser-size.html[/url]
Does it do it if you open Chrome without any extensions? (Try it in an Incognito page.)
I de-activated Ultimate member plugin and it has sorted itself...!
Cheers all - one of those I had stared at and googled for an hour with no idea what or why....
