I started getting this problem too (Only in create a subclass). It does it on my phone, tablet and laptop on different browsers. Tried all the previous "fixes" and still have the same problem across all 3. Must be a programming issue within the system.

 Realllly hope the great programmers at ddb can fix this issue, my subclass homebrewing has been problematic by this T.T

One fix is to just hide the HTML portion of the footer using inspect. On some tools and browsers, this could be permanent until you manually revert the change, and in others it only lasts until you reload the page. So it works, but be careful.

I'm seeing some people trying to fix it by zooming in or out, which is yucky. I'm reposting this fix and explaining it better, which will work on any pc browser that allows you to inspect. Mobile people, I'm sorry; I'm not invested enough to find a fix for you.

Just right click on the footer banner and click Inspect element.
On the window that pops up, you'll find yourself in an element of the banner.
Scroll up a couple of lines (like three or five, at most) until you see a line that says <footer id="footer">. It should be the ONLY line in this entire mess of HTML code, so you literally can't confuse it for something else.
Right click on it and click on Hide element. You'll see the banner disappear. It should come back when you reload the page, so don't worry.

This fix is not permanent, which is good for less tech-savvy users so they don't permanently lose the footer banner. More tech-savvy users will know how to permanently hide it and bring it back at will. Otherwise, you can repeat the same steps and clicking on Hide element again will unselect the option. You will have to repeat this every time you reload the page (if you need to edit the description or whatever it's blocking; if not, then don't bother).

This is definitely an issue the D&DB needs to fix, but it is by no means an life-or-death issue. Just a minor annoyance.

 EDIT: This whole thing should work on any Chromium browser exactly as I described. Which is a lot of browsers out now: Chrome, Edge, Opera, etc.

Reposting this fix so users can easily find it on the 3rd page

hi guys! something weird: when creating a homebrew subclass and adding extra features, the bottom dndbeyond info banner pops up in the middle of the page blocking the lower options including saving changes. welp!

here link to my tweet reporting this

There is a little workaround if you use adblocker. You can use the "Block an ad on this page" function of it to remove the banner. I guess you could also do something similar with Inspect, but for those that use ad blocker, it works fine as a temporary workaround.

I just reposted this issue about the floating mid page banner. Glad to see I’m not the only one.

I don't know if any of the developers actually read through all of the comments here, but if they do, I found that the explicit height value of 100% on the #site DIV element seems to be the culprit. If you eliminate that particular style rule out of the CSS, the footer jumps right back to the bottom of the screen where it belongs.

I'm not sure what the exact problem is, though, because on other pages where this isn't a problem -- even pages where there is long content not unlike on the edit pages -- the #site DIV element also has that height of 100%.

Here are steps for a temporary workaround to hide the page footer in Chrome using an extension

Install the User CSS Extension

Right click on the blue CSS box and select Manage Extensions

Select On specific sites

Enter https://www.dndbeyond.com/*

On the DDB Homepage, click the blue box for the extension and enter footer { display:none }
Enable the toggle from OFF to ON

Reload the page and you are done!

Any work around for those using the Brave browers?

Any work around for those using the Brave browers?

 Brave is based on Chromium, so that extension should still work. Unless you don't want to use extensions.

I tried Brave, Firefox, and Edge—Which I never used to log into DnDBeyond before—(The latter two I don't have any extensions in), and all of them had the same error. This is a site issue, not a user one. 

Im trying to create a homebrew subclass, but when i go to add a class feature the dnd beyond black bar with all the links on it (which is how i got here) is in the middle of the page blocking me from selecting neccesary boxes to add information. I don't know what to do about it as it has been there for like a week and a half and short of going into the pages properties and deleting the bar (which only lasts until i reload the page ) i haven't found a fix.

This is my problem

 That is the same problem everyone else is having for subclasses. If you are using Chrome or a Chromium based browser (anything but Firefox pretty much), you can follow the steps I put above to turn off the page footer, which will then let you edit freely. And then if for whatever reason you need the footer you can just change the toggle to OFF in the extension.

When I go to edit the features granted by a homebrew subclass, the black menu bar from the bottom of the page is dislodged and instead appears halfway up the page, covering most of the description box for the feature. This appears to be the case in both the desktop and mobile formats of the builder. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hello!

So, that collection of links in a grey box that shows up at the bottom of a screen? That seems to be moving up to perfectly cover the Description section when I am making a feature for a homebrew subclass? I've reloaded multiple times, and this is not the first time it's happened.

Ahhg i got a idea for a variant subclass of cavalier- then I remembered- there was a big bad banner blocking my way. I will try the extension you suggested Houligan

 It worked! Thank you 

I’ve had the same problem for a week now. I’m getting so sick of it and DNDBeyond doesn’t seem to want to try and fix it.

Follow the steps here as a workaround: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/82452-cant-edit-anything-due-to-giant-banner?comment=48

and you should be good to go

Or you could just inspect and hide, and you don't need to download any extension. I posted the steps above twice already...

the downside to inspect and hide is that you need to continually do it, every time you transition between pages while editing.
