I think some people have actually deleted portals using the move objects cheat..I know for sure the mailbox, and pedestrian. This used to happen all the time in sims1 and I think they do now as well.
But how? I remember the problem in Sims 1 with deleting mailboxes (someone had the neat idea that you wouldn't get bills anymore if you deleted the mailbox-yay! :P). You can see the mailbox but you can't see a portal. That's why you have to be careful when using Erzengel's replacement portals to get them right the first time you place them because you can't move them once you let go.

Im not sure can you still see them when you are in the cheat mode and are moving near the area (maybe Im still thinking sims one) it used to say pedestrian portal...I would think if you could screw up your mail and garbage then you could theorectically screw the others up if you are in that mode too long. But maybe Im wrong. That reading thing that could happen-there have been many weird things happening.

Yeah, I remember something like that in Sims 1, but I haven't heard of anything like that in Sims 2.

I can't remember what I was doing when it happened. I didn't delete anything, so it may have been the reading thing.
If your game is patched, you do not need Crammyboy's fix. It is confirmed they put it in the patch. so cancelling a "read to..." at the wrong point doesn't ever delete a portal in a patched game.
If there is a portal problem, it is either a new one, or one we didn't find before.
You can still use Crammyboy's diagnosis tool to see if a portal is missing.
If one is missing you can replace it though it's a little techie.
portal fix and portal prevention..........

I deleted a portal once in University when it had a kicky bag stuck on it (this was before any of Pescado's or TwoJeff's fixes for that). The portal's are invisible, but you can grab them with moveobjects on. At least I could. I believe it was the second or third sidewalk square in. For some reason, even though there were two portals, one on the left side of the screen and one on the right, they insisted on always using the one on the right and because it was blocked they would never go to class. When I deleted the portal on the right, then they started using the one on the left and I had no problems further with that lot unless you consider always having to exit on the left side of the screen a problem.
If nothing else works for you and you are pulling your hair out of your head you can try turning move objects on and clicking on the first few sidewalk squares on the right or left sides of the screen and deleting one of the portals if you find one. Just make sure there's an alternate one that's available and they are willing to use it before you go saving.
