What is the iGoogle?Google offers the ability to create a personalized iGoogle page that gives you at-a-glance access to key information from Google and across the web. On this self-designed page, you can choose and organize content such as:- your latest Gmail messages - headlines from Google News and other top news sources - weather forecasts, stock quotes, and movie showtimes - bookmarks for quick access to your favorite sites from any computer - your own section with content you find from across the web (taken from here)  |
What is the igGameCenter?igGameCenter is a multiplayer games portal specially designed for integration into iGoogle. |
I already have the Google Account. Why should I register for the igGameCenter?igGameCenter is a privately raised project that is not affiliated with Google™It means that the igGameCenter has no any access to your Google Account and, therefore, the Google Account could not be used by the igGameCenter for authorization purposes |
What is the difference between the fast and the certified sign up process?The fast sign up process does not check an identity of a new member in depth. The only information required to enter is a desired nickname and a password.The certified sign up process requires entering the correct e-mail and checks its validity. It means that the identity of the member who passed the certified sign up process is checked more thoroughly. The certified members have a special certification sign in their public profile. It is up to you what option to choose. But keep in mind that there are people who will reject playing with non-certified members. Update: you can always switch from non-certified account to the certified one. Just open your profile (click My Profile button in the gadget), click Get Certificate button in the opened window and follow the instructions. |
I added the igGameCenter gadget, clicked the My Profile button and nothing happened. Why?Some pop-up blocking software prevents you from opening a new window from the igGameCenter site. You should allow opening pop-up windows for iggamecenter.com. |
Why don't you make the windows to be opened in the usual way and not as pop-ups?Browser window contains a lot of necessary and useful information for browsing including the browser menu, toolbar, address bar, bookmarks and other. However, all that stuff is useless when playing the game and it simply wastes your screen space. |
I have completed the certified sign up process but have not received any confirmation e-mail.First of all, try checking your Spam/Junk/Bulk folders - it could probably be there (the subject of the confirmation e-mail is "Member Registration Confirmation")If you don't find it, then write me an e-mail specifying the information provided by you during the sign up process and I will try to resolve the issue. |
I asked to enter my e-mail / nickname and password for logging in, submitted them and returned back to the login window without any error message. Why?The problem is probably with cookies.
