Well, being as we all use Firefox, it seems like it'd be nice if a portal opened in a new tab. That way, all the spiffy portals I put on missions stand less chance of breaking up the flow of the mission itself. It might just be me, but I sometimes find hitting portals means having to start the mission all over again... |

That is an awesome idea--I second it! |

Although it would be much more convenient, I think it would change the feel of the portal. Being taken away from my page has a different feel than opening a link in a new tab. Not sure which way I lean on this, just thought I'd add my $.02 |

I agree with both sides here, i usually go back to the page after the mission to open the portal. |

My feeling is that since the portal transports you to another site that opening in another tab would take away from the transportation element of the portal. Portals are a choice: Do I stay with my current path, or to I take another path? I think that opening portals in another tab may take away from the game-like feeling of PMOG. Webpages are already filled with links that can open in another tab, PMOG missions and portals are a journey. Plus there's always the back button to take you to where you left off if you want to go back... :) |

Agreeing with the above post. I think the intent is that the Seer class is one of the "bad" classes (along with Destroyer and Vigilante), in that it entices someone _away_ from a carefully planned out mission with a blatant distraction. For that reason, you'd lose the associated villainy of the portal if we were allowed to open portals in separate tabs. Seers are inherently Anti-Pathmakers. I probably overthought that... but, just my 2 cents. |

on a somewhat related note, I can't seem to lay portals in this particular thread, and neither can I elsewhere (I'm not sure if I can't lay them anywhere) |

@wyvernon: You are most correct in your over-thinking! :D |
