Weird Opera problem, anybody else have this?

[ShawnD1]

Often when I'm reading Tom's Hardware articles, one of the ad servers won't respond, and Opera will just stop loading the page; Opera waits for the ad server before trying to load the rest of the article. Even after restarting Opera, the problem persists on the same page. If I go to the same page in Mozilla or IE, the page loads normally.
This problem doesn't happen often, but it happens enough to be annoying.

Does anybody else get this problem?

Yup.

FF does the same some times....(FF safe mode that is).....with security and privacty settings set to only allow stuff from the originating site
