CSS div changes position on specific pages

Question

I'm having a strange CSS problem where the main div container on my website shifts to the right when I visit certain pages. This happens even though there is no specific CSS rule to move it

I've uploaded a temp version of my site here: http://myawesometestsite.ddns.net/

When you go to the Publications and Contact page the entire container shifts to the right by a few pixels. The position appears to be correct and unshifted on all other pages

This is the full CSS I'm using:

body {
    background-color: #dcd8cf;
    font-family: Raleway, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 1em;
}

h1 {
    font-size: 1.5em;
    color: #832C00;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
}

h2 {
    font-size: 1.2em;
    color: #832C00;
    margin-top: 30px;
}

h3 {
    font-size: 1em;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    margin-top: 20px;
}

h4 {
    font-size: 1em;
    font-style: italic;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-left: 10px;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
}


.container {
    position: relative;
    left: 50%;
    margin-left: -470px;
    width: 940px;
    border: 1px solid black;
}


/*

    position: absolute;
    font-size: 2.5em;

    margin: 0px;

    margin: 0px;
    opacity: 0.7;
}

    border: 2px solid #e6e6dc;
    border-radius: 50%;
    max-width: 100%;

    header h2 {

    nav a {

    nav a:hover {
        border-bottom: none;

    }

}

@media screen and (max-width : 600px) {

    .rightFooter {
        position: relative;
        display: block;
        margin-left: 10px;
    }

}

I don't believe there's anything in here that's causing the container to shift for just those 2 pages but maybe I'm missing something. Anyone have any idea whats causing this?

Add "overflow-y: scroll;" to your "body" selector. It should look like this in your CSS:

body {
    background-color: #dcd8cf;
    font-family: Raleway, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 1em;
    overflow-y: scroll;
}
