Infolinks pop up on one site?

infolinks popups have recently began appearing only on 1 site.
I have tried other browsers including Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
The popup only occurs when using Opera.
I have verified that both chrome and Opera are up to date
it appears at the bottom of the page as shown in the pictures.
Sometimes the box is blank, other times it will have something (ad) in it
I can close the box but when opening another page or topic on the site it reappears
this is only happening in Opera
Opening the link and any page or topic should make it appear.
I have checked all my settings to the best of my ability and nothing has changed that I am aware of
windows 10 64 bit
114.0.5282.115 version of opera

@TJP Seems just a regular ad.

Thanks for responding and Agreed,
But why did this just start a week or so ago, and only appears when using opera to visit the site?
there are "Sponsor's" on the site but their ads do not block the viewing area as this one does which is quite irritating. I can go to a different browser but have been using opera for ~10 years and it is my preferred browser.
Again, this "popup" or "ad" only appears on the one site and only when using Opera ?

Also, I just noticed you may have moved the question, may I ask where so I can watch for a possible solution?
Thanks again

@TJP I couldn't see that ad, maybe because the adblocker was turned on.

@TJP If you go to your forum profile page, clock on the circle with three dots and then on posts, you can see all your posts.

@leocg ,
thanks for the response. The opera Ad blocker is on. I also tried the free version of ad block, still there ? Again only on the one site when using Opera.

I should mention there are two different pic's posted in the original post, one is blank/ black but says INFOLINKS. The other shows an actual ad. They appear at the bottom of the page. here's another that I just snipped

@leocg
those are Paid advertisers on the site and do not interfere with viewing as they are outside the pertinent viewing areas.
The info links ones partially block the viewing area.

I'm wondering if this has something to do with my installing Opera on a newly acquired cell phone ?
I've since uninstalled it but no change on the desktop
I become frustrated with things like this as I don't understand how they work . not my area of expertise I do sincerely appreciate your efforts and I will keep you posted>
If you have any ideas please let me know
