Just a suggestion. I can't say how many times I'm doing a mission and a link on a page that I am on gets my attention and I surf away from the lightposted site. I have to hit back several times before I can get back to the page I was on to continue the mission.

I just wanted to suggest a "Resume" or "Continue" buttion for your bar that could tank you back to the page with the last lightpost you saw.

Don't know if it's possible, but I think it would be great.

I'll have to agree with you. I don't want to go back like 3 pages to continue again :(.

Try opening a new tab?

Tabs work, but there should be something more intuitive within the game.

Maybe, once you've reached a page within a mission, the PMOG popup remains if you navigate away from the mission, but perhaps is minimized to only a <--back /> field. That way you could navigate through the site in question just to see what's there. Isn't that partly the point of the game? Sort of a social internet weirdness aggregator.

This mission is a good example of that: http://pmog.com/missions/iheartc.... To enrich the mission (or to advertise, but if it's fun who cares?), the author included a scavenger hunt, which included crates and whatnot. Why open a million tabs just to look around.

That'd also be a way to check out side missions and portals found along the way. They could be investigated and then the initial mission could be resumed and completed.

I'd be for this because I've had times where the next lightpost doesn't load when doing a mission, and then I have to do the whole thing over to get it to load.

I wasn't suggesting a million tabs be opened to 'just look around.' I was suggesting that you continue your browsing in a new tab...keeping the page with the mission pop-up open somewhere off to left. I do this all the time when I'm really interested in the sites that a mission utilizes.

@dromolarid And just backing up a page doesn't fix this for you? Hmmm...
