Huh. Encountering the same issue again, and it's not one of my extensions (I've checked and rechecked their settings). Since it's only 3 forums (Forum Games, Adohand's, PBP), all of which I am regularly on, is it possible that it's a ban of some sort? (I don't know why that would be happening, but that makes some sense to me)
From discussions with the devs, it would appear that something on your systems are tripping the anti-attack protections. That is why we're suspecting it's an extension of some sort doing it or possibly, as LT can testify, an ISP doing some caching for you in the background (hence different networks). If you suspect it could be the latter we had her switch her DNS to 1.1.1.1 (OpenDNS) and 8.8.8.8 (Google) [as recommended by the sysadmin]. Very good instructions under Option 2 to manually change your servers can be found at AdGuard DNS for practically any device. The SysAdmin also suggested a remote possibility of having some malware on your system affecting your cookies (or anti-malware/anti-tracking doing the same attempting to help you), hence different device. Ultimately the devs believe the system to be operating as intended, and while I can recommend different settings to test, it's mainly to isolate the cause. Personally I use Firefox Nightly with EFF's Privacy Badger and Ghostery and do use AdGuard DNS along with setting Firefox's own blocking fairly high. I don't run into this issue. LT is obviously on the DNS servers listed above and I believe regularly uses Beyond20 but has not run into the issue beyond a single blip.

Double checked, I have all my adblockers and the Brave browser features deactivated for DnDBeyond. I don't have any extensions, and I made sure my security software was off.
It seems to be hit and miss right now? I can copy/clone homebrew items or edit ones I've previously made, but if I try to 'create from scratch' and try to save anything, it still 403's.
No VPN active, all features off, cleared cookies and cache twice now, made sure I logged out of all devices (work device, phone, etc) and still no change. Still can edit/modify homebrew items and access most things, but certain actions like creating homebrew lead to the 403 page.

I will need a specific time and a full link where it occurs.

Okay, so it sometimes occurs for me every once in a while but it’s a really quick fix by resetting my computer/phone. Have y’all tried that?

Oh, a simple resetting my computer fixed it.
It worked when I opened an Incognito/private tab.
The aforementioned extensions do not affect the 403 bug.
UPDATE:Adohand's works w/o a private/incognito, but not General Discussion. Curious.

Well, first of all, it's not Beyond20, AboveVTT, UBlock, Enhancer for YouTube, Or VideoDowloadHelper.
So it could be Malwarebytes Privacy Guard or DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials.
I'll need to test those.
EDIT:It is neither of those.
And it seems to be affecting different people different ways. Curious.

Tried this.
Didn't change a thing.
Different browsers didn't fix it.
It feels like a your end thing.

It only worked on the different device, might be a plugin.

I fixed it by re-signing in via Wizards.com & accepting cookies before I authorized such fully.

Having the same issue! Just started happening today, refreshed all my cookies/cache, tried on incognito and on 2 seperate browsers, no luck :/
I can access most of the site, but any time I try to create/access homebrew items, it immediately goes to 403 Forbidden and a blank page.

ModeratorAfter disabling all features try to clear your cookies and cache and see if it continues. Things like a VPN can also interfere.

Again, I fixed it by signing in again via Wizards.com, but before I completed the process, I accepted cookies.
It wasn't that hard to fix.

Just happened right now, 19:09PM, GMT+2 timezone. Just tested trying to create an item, monster and feat. Item and monster work fine, feat lead to the 403:
