Common reasons. <p>
There is a known issue with the Niantic servers, where sometimes the occasional portal is not shown. Additionally,
due to differences between IITC and standard intel by default, it can appear differently in IITC.
</p>
<p>
It is usually easy to find the same zoom level on the standard intel map which causes the problem portal to vanish
there too - usually you just need to zoom out once or twice. To make IITC behaviour match the standard intel site:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Disable the 'show more portals' plugin</li>
<li>Install/enable the 'default intel detail level' plugin</li>
</ul>
<p>
