In both Firefox and IE7 the blocks on a mysite page (for example at http://therickards.com/mysite) have unnecessary ugly scrollbars. These can be made to go away by removing the overflow: scroll; from the styling of div.mysite-group in mysite.css

This is a known browser issue for which there is no universal solution, as some people like the scrollbars and others do not. Some browsers use a scrollbar by default for overflow, and others do not.

Please see the documentation, specifically:

----
2.5 CSS Files and Layout Issues

A note here about mysite.css and the included layout files.

On fixed-width layouts, content that extends beyond the default width of columns
on the mysite pages will be forced to scroll in order to not break the page
layout. As three column layouts create more narrow columns, you are more likely
to see scrolling on mysite pages with 3 columns.

The css that governs this behavior is the div.mysite-group (lines 59-64 of
mysite.css). If you prefer, you may set the 'overflow' value to 'hidden'.
Doing so will hide parts of elements that extend beyond the content group.

Remember that you can also remove layouts that you do not wish to use.

For reference, see this issue.
