Can anyone tell me if you can delete or change a cribs name? My son is 5 1/2 and I help him with the game-- love it-- but we have trouble with changing/saving his 3 cribs. Anyone have this mastered? Seems when we make a new crib it has to be "shared" first to be "saved" I guess, but what about changing/deleting the names and just clearing them all out? Starting from scratch?

Thanks for posting that, I had the same question and haven't figured it out. I have a call into a Mattel representative on another matter, so I'll ask them when they call me back.

It appears the engineers might have made some updates on this today because we couldn't access it for a while. I did get a chance to talk to a Mattel rep today (thanks, Karen! Great customer service!). I then fiddled around with the crib to make sure I understood what we could and couldn't do.
I got a bit confused, to be honest, because it wasn't consistent at first. I tried to clear one crib name and lost them both at one time.
We were able to bring up a saved crib name and "load" so it then became the current crib, then "clear" to wipe it out and start over. Then after redecorating, went through the original steps of "share" in order to save it, and clicking on "Ok" after you select the name of the crib.
But you cannot rename the crib names you've already created. So that's up to 3 different crib names/decorated that you can save. And if you want more, you'd need to do it under a new login. However that would mean starting over with accumulating your items.

Thanks for the info you found! I must say, it was kind of confusing trying to figure out how to save a crib-- if you exit and have not shared, you seem to return to an earlier version of the crib you were working on. My son got very frustrated with this. (as did I) So does it seem you cannot ever rename a crib??? I cannot seem to use "backspace" once I click on a crib to try to rename it. ALSO we want to maybe just clear all 3 cribs and have 3 empty ones-- but if you clear it and then leave with out remaking it at that time, it reappears. Hmmmmm. Also I tried to add a second "user" but can't. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

As far as I have found you can't change the name of your cribs, however, you can clear the room and redecorate it. Just pick an existing room, load it, clear it, then redecorate, and then choose share under one of the existing names you have.

The answer that wisteriatayu just gave was what the Mattel Rep said. (well written there, thanks for posting)
To answer the question about adding another user, you can create a new login at the main menu under "Create Player", is that what you tried and didn't work?

thats the one thinf i think they have deliberatly done so that people just dont keep making up names and hogging them all and being a flock of rarely used cribs will be to limit use on their servers i guess and allow them to concentrate on buiilding up the game once all the series are released they may add a patch to allow more cribs per user......Heres hoping as they seem to get very full very quickly...

If you go to the UB Funkeys website there is a poll and one of the options is 'more rooms for crib' so maybe if more people vote for it we could have bigger cribs!
