I broke our funkey addiction. You just have to lose everything. Uninstall and reinstall the program a half dozen times. Use every name your mother would wash your mouth out with soap for saying about a dozen times...usually to refer to Mattel. Then have to start over from scatch....knowing this means playing all the games you hate a billion times to gain the shards over.
At this point I'm so annoyed...I seriously considered listing everything for sale on Ebay.

OH NO! That is the worse that could happen. And I know how far you got. With all the log ins you had. This is terrible. I should've posted my "back up your files" warning here in huge red letters. It happened to us back when the Funkiki Island updates came through, but I thought it was just a Vista problem. Now I back up my data files before I let the downloads come through.
For us, I did get over it because it was easier the second time around to get things back. BUT it's different for you because you did get so much further in the entire game, and with some of the games I know you abhor!
I was very P.O.'d after it happened, and I did complain to Mattel (because they were the ones walking me through my problem & they were on the phone as I discovered everything was lost). The Rep. said I could send them in for my money back if I was that unhappy.
I recovered from the feeling & Funkiki Island turned out to make it worth the trouble I went through. But not sure Speed Racer coming will help change your mind!
PLUS you loosing all your rare & very rare items you had accumulated is a huge blow.
I wonder if Mattel would do anything to make up for it if you complain. There is a lot of rumbling over on the UBFunkey official website forum about the same thing - loosing things with the update.

WOW- Wisteriatayu- how did that happen? Did your computer crash? I know my son LOVED looking at your cribs....... It happened during the 2.6 update download. I would recommend that everyone back-up their files before any update on the Funkeys...apparently this has been a problem for a lot of people. Guess I'll learn how before the Dream State comes out. Oddly enough, you can still see our cribs...even though they don't exist on our computer anymore.

Wisteriatayu- I saw your posting under the Fallout Game high scores, so you must be "back in the game" again, you "got back up on the saddle". The second time for me wasn't as enthusiastic, I'll admit. I never did try to rebuild my own login. We just concentrated on Liam's. How about you? Only one log-in name now?
Did you call Mattel to tell them about (or tell them off? LOL)
I have a poll up on my blog now to see how many others experienced the same problem.

I am not nearly as enthusiastic as I was the first time around nor is Lily. We have one new log-in completed. And just my favorite (read sarcasm) games left...the long boring ones...Nibble, Tiki, and Twinx. Plus my all time favorite Bones (read extra sarcasm) left on the second log-in.
Don't think we will do any more. Considering last time we had 5 completed log-ins.
Never did call Mattel....didn't want to have to get my mouth washed out with soap after the conversation.
Make sure you post instructions on how to save it all before the next upgrade. Please post the complete idiot's instructions...because that's what I'll need.
Addict???!!!!...Hey I only hit 2 walmarts and one k-mart today. Plus called my sister who lives within 20 miles of a Toys R Us. And attempted to bribe one site administration into shipping me funkeys.

There is nothing (besides all of my funkeys exploding) that could split me from the addiction of funkeys! Although certainly there would be things that would awfully slow me down! this would be one of them.

I know how you feel, I got all the gem shards and never defeated Master Lox! So I had to restart and do it all over again. It was sad for me, but funkeys lured me back with dreamstate....
