On my site, I have a [lengthy FAQ topic](https://community.namati.org/t/faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-network-platform/1467) with a table of contents at the top and section headings linked to using `<a name="heading"></a>` style anchors. Once on the topic, it works quite well to click around and find answers.

However, when I link to a section directly, it doesn’t work properly. The linked to section is hidden behind the header menu.

To replicate:

- go to [https://community.namati.org/t/faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-network-platform/1467](https://community.namati.org/t/faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-network-platform/1467) and click on “guided tour” link on the menu. You will be taken directly to the guided tour section. Section heading and first few lines are visible.
- go directly to [https://community.namati.org/t/faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-network-platform/1467#tour](https://community.namati.org/t/faq-frequently-asked-questions-about-the-network-platform/1467#tour) link. You will will be taken directly there but the section heading and first few lines are hidden behind the heading.
