I received warning from Google AdSense about accidental clicks. And I noticed that I have "phantom" links when I use Opera (v11).
You can see this when you open some thread and it goes to first unread (actually, whenever page loads to somewhere else than top of the page) post. Imagine where Google AdSense links are (I also use my ads, so I see them too) on the top of the page if you're watching website from top of the page. I have "phantom" links on exact same positions, not only on same positions, but actual links. You can see mouse pointer changing look from arrow to hand, showing where ads would be. If I click on them, I go to Google AdSense, or my ad. It happens till I found real visible (not "phantom") link. After that "phantom" links disappear and everything is fine.
This is a big problem as you can see, Google already warned me about accidental clicks. I could switch to other browser (I'm not sure if only Opera has this problem) or be more careful, but my users too have this problems.
I opened ticket here: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-11899
I attached two images, ads1 is image whith phantom link, and ads2 is image when you look at the top of the page, exact same position, but now you see actual Google AdSense Ad.
