When the <ul> goes to position: fixed it loses the width of its parent
(which has a "col-md-3" class) which is why it's smaller. If you can get
the "affix" class to act like "col-md-3" that'd help some, so:

.affix { width: 25%; }

is a start on large screens, but won't solve the way the <ul> ends up
behind your main content on smaller screens.

Best,
Eric
