I don't have Opera installed. I've not seen it happen with Edge. It could be a browser or ads issue. A blank/grey screen could be a temporary server/connection issue. It's difficult to pinpoint. I'm sorry if it's an inconvenience and an annoyance if you have to make a few extra clicks or refresh a page while navigating around the forums. Reloading the page should remove the issue.

This seems to be a known issue. Hopefully Google can fix it since it's in their best interests to display the ads. Their vignette ads are still rather new when it comes to desktop/wide screen. They must still be experimenting with it because they've changed the layout several times.
