Re: Sometimes cannot remote-view any portal
To add on to this, the scanner itself is been horribly laggy over the past week, which likely contributes to this issue and just being able to play in general. Multiple times in the past week agents are unable to load the scanner beyond a black screen or a screen with no portals. Client stops working or loads very slowly despite the data being great (other apps including other Niantic apps load correctly during this time).

Re: Concerning future of First Saturdays & Second Sundays.
When agents don't get credit for doing it, the amount of people who might do it, falls off, and then you get stuck with a few folks if that. Then the POC's will quit wanting to expend the energy/time to do it, and bye bye it goes.
Second Sunday March 2024
On this the 3rd Second Sunday of 2024 the timings aligned with UK Mothers Day making it easy for some agents to explore and do banners while making it more of a challenge for others. Agents in the Second Sunday TG group shared their experiences of places visited, missions completed and food consumed.
43 members of the group (23 RES, 20 ENL) also uploaded stats to the optional competition bot, walking 437km (256 RES 181 ENL) earning 13.5 million AP (RES 9M ENL 4.5M) and recharging 29.4 million XM (12.4m RES and 17m ENL).
As Second Sunday is about getting out, doing missions and discovering new places we had an amazing 408 missions completed (244 RES 164 ENL), 1,453 Unique portals captured (974 RES 479 ENL) and as Machina is a good indicator of places with little play, agents neutralised 963 machina portals (806 RES 157 ENL), destroyed 7,896 machina resonators (6,627 RES 1,269ENL) and reclaimed 779 portals (621 RES 158 ENL).

🍰🥤Food and Drink Consumed:

Noteworthy entries were:
🥇Top prizes for most interesting food stuffs:
Karlosici - 1 meatloaf in a bun
Penumbruh - 2 pastelitos
MonsterFishtank - 1 spicy chai latte and 1 leek and bacon scone.
✏️Concerns and Comments:
Poor kupuguy, submitted one lone malteser, buy that agent a whole packet next time!!
Wendex went the whole hog with a full roast and plenty to wash it down, someone was enjoying themselves and we hope that this was consumed post bannering as that lot would induce a nice afternoon nap for me.
bluesfemme had a Frozen raspberry coke which sounds refreshing after a long trek!
SpannerDaniel - 1 mother's day box of chocolates purchased for my mum. - We are concerned that your Mum didn't get her chocolates, if she didn’t you must do better next year!
rleonel consumed 1331 smurf tears! - Now now XFAC etiquette, maybe it was the 69 Coffees and 420 Chocolates that led you to this xfac faux pas.
We hope to see all the regulars again and hopefully some new faces in April for the 4th 2024 Second Sunday event.

Re: CAL (Compartmental Access Level) Issue
Agent in question is still receiving bi-weekly CAL locks like his CAL is resetting to zero, and he's unable to recharge his own portals and links.
@NianticBrian @NianticVK @bobdobbz can someone please take a closer look at his account because this is getting ridiculous. He's had to file over 30 CAL tickets since this started. If someone actually reads this please let me know so I can DM the agents name.
Re: Please support filing proof-of-presence data in game to discourage unfair gameplay
Nearly every single one of those AAA games still has active cheating
Re: Can a banned player open a new account?
We've seen local players get banned for spoofing come back and just start new accounts. It's allowed. That's why reporting really doesn't do anything good for the game. It may slow them down temporarily but they always come back. Nothing you can do but accept it.
[Feature Request] Make your avatar smaller or hide it all together from the linking screen
When fielding a portal dense area your avatar constantly gets in the way to see where you are trying to link especially as the avatar is larger than the portal itself and in some cases can end up covering multiple portals.
Suggestion would be to make your avatar smaller than the portal size or better still keep the hack range circle and make the avatar a small dot instead.
Being able to see the link options and not have portals obscured is key to linking and fielding, being able to see that you are at the portal you are linking from is not.
Re: Ingress website gets a cosmetic makeover
Shush, they are a new company, its a BETA site, its uhh...oh wait, its on PAR for Ingress. Half finished, we QA it for them, they might fix in the future, ect. Don't get your hopes up. They keep acting like they are trying to be all grown up and maybe actually advertise their game, but yeah whatever.
Re: Ingress website gets a cosmetic makeover
Hard to pull in new users if they can't get past the "accept terms" dialog without getting a "something went wrong" error
