So you've tried to login but cannot. Here is a list of things to try, in order of most common solutions (if you prefer to watch a video, see
Member Login Information Video)
1. Confirm your membership to the site. Are you certain you are a member of the site you are trying to login to?
Go to
www.igroops.com and click on the login arrow. Once you login, it will take you to a page that says "Showing all your iGrOOps". Be sure the site you are trying to login to is listed on this page.
If it is not, you will want to go to the site, and click one of the "Join" links to complete the registration process. You can then use your iGrOOps nickname and password to join the site.
2. Check your password. Passwords are case sensitive. If you forget your password or are unsure, try resetting your password (you can reset to the same password) using the lost password link.
3. Check your nickname. Nicknames are case sensitive as well. If you forget your nickname or are unsure, try resetting your password (you can reset to the same password) using the lost password link.
4. Clear your temporary Internet files. This is done by selecting that option within your web browser.
Internet Explorer: Tools >> Internet Options >> Browsing History >> Delete >> Delete Files (under Temp Internet Files section)
Firefox: Tools >> Options >> Privacy >> Private Data section, Settings button “Cache” and “Cookies” should be checked, then click OK. You may also want to use the ‘Clear Now’ button to ensure no cookies are blocking login.
Safari: See Firefox instructions; very similar
5. Clear your cookies. Should be in the same section as temp Internet files.
Internet Explorer: Tools >> Internet Options >> Browsing History >> Delete >> Delete Cookies
Firefox: Tools >> Options >> Privacy >> Cookies section. “Allow 3rd party cookies” should be checked. You should also make sure Cash For Life and iGroops sites are not in “Exceptions”; click Exceptions button to find out, remove if necessary.

6. Disable your local firewall. Norton anti-virus or other firewall software can be prohibiting cookies.
7. Check your network router/firewall. These security settings could be set too high at the network level. If you made it to this step, almost always it is that your firewall software has cookie security settings too high -- set to medium. You need to be able to accept cookies from all sites. Are you using Norton Anti-Virus? McAfee? Other? Disable it, then try again.
Contact your supplier (Norton, McAfee, etc.) for details on using and configuring their software.
Are you using Zone Alarm? Zone alarm rejects 3rd party cookies by default. Your browser needs to accept 3rd Party Cookies.
If you still cannot get in, try the following:
• try using another web browser - AOL Browsers most likely will NOT work
• try using another computer
• try another network if possible (like a library or work/home)
