We are aware that there are some performance issues affecting Spore.com right now. You may notice profile and Sporepedia pages are slow to load. Some of the performance problems may also be the root cause of the intermittent 500 errors that some of you have reported seeing recently.

Our best people are currently working to resolve these issues, please bear with us as we make the site faster for you.

Thanks,

Don't forget upload problems!

Cool good luck

Are you talking about comments on the My Spore profile page, or the Manage Comments page? The Manage Comments page has been fixed, but I believe the My Spore page comments do not currently refresh when they should.

I'll have the team look into it.

Initially both didn't work, but now the My Spore page one is the only one working. However, I find it inconvenient to use the Manage Comments page because the names of the posters aren't linked to their profiles.

after they fix it new bugs are going to come, i just KNOW it.

Great. I have had problems uploading ships in particular, problem linked to this thread
http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/18737.page
I hope this has something to do with it. Thanks again, Maxis. You're on top of stuff and fixing it before most people notice .

Yeah its been slow to load pages in sporepedia

Good on you for fixin's! Thanks for the notification. Perhaps this story is related, then?

I was just uploading a bunch of my new guys, and I experienced a crash just after. When I went to the site to see if any of my new guys uploaded properly, all of the image information- their pics- came up blank. I looked at the sporepedia- and ALL of the newest entries are coming up blank for me! It seems that all new visual content is not present... or is this just me?

Ditto for me. It's very difficult and some times takes several days to update my sporecasts

And while we're on the topic of fixing errors, in agreement with RedRanger3 and Carbonious, can you fix the whole "Error connecting to the Spore server" while I'm trying to see someone else's sporepage ingame? The last time that it actually connected was in November.

Who do i contact to file a report against this game?
i want to know how to email maxis about this cause i am really getting sick of all the Bull i face in my game. I know for a fact that not a single creator of this game would be able to handle what i have to go through. As we have seen in one of the first demonstrations for Spore, Will wright cant even defend one of his cities.... I have to deal with 3 nations attacking me at once in the Space mood, every single time i play factions will go to war with me minutes after i meet them.

I dont kno about the rest of you guys but for the life of me I can't seem to use the 'search online' feature in game or update/make any sporecasts without having to struggle through 'Error. There was a problem connecting to the spore server' countless times ... and even then I don't always get to do it... it makes me wonder if they even try to manage the server...

Actually I like the way that My Spore Page comments not refresh to the front page because I like to approve the old comment first. In the old time, when I approve the old comments, it just keep refresh to a front page and I need to go back to that page again and again. However I support your idea that Manage comments page is inconvenient to use because it doesn't have a link to that poster profiles.

I don't know that this problem is my ISP problem or is Spore server problem. After I got a huge 500 error back in December. I start to have a problem to see creations cards in website Sporepedia. Sometime I can see only a few cards and else are blank. Only some specific time that I can see all cards normally. (like after 23:00 with +7:00 GMT)

I am trying to install spore part pack, however kept being told that I need to have Spore installed first. Spore has been installed on my computer and I do not know what to do with this. There is not proper help provided through the EA web site. Please provide some help for my problem.Thanks much.
