Linked triangle with no field
In this image, to the right there is a triangle of 3 portals with all sides linked, but there is no field created:
How did this happen? I checked that none of the portals are actually two portals very close together.

That's a server synchronization problem. It should resolve itself within a day or so. (However, because this is not actually an inconsistent state, it might not.)
Unfortunately, if it's your non-field, you won't get the AP retroactively.
The reason this is not inconsistent: imagine a portal within that triangle. The rule is that the smallest-possible triangle on each side of a link gets the field, thus the link which closed it could have created a field between its endpoints and that inner portal. Now imagine that this inner portal gets deleted or moved for some reason.
