General tab:

IP Verification is a security feature to help prevent cross-site scripting exploits. Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs), most notably AOL, use an aggressive proxying system that may result in users being logged out of the TimeIPS system prematurely. If you use AOL or a similar ISP that has confirmed it does aggressive proxying, you may disable IP Verification.
- The "Enable IP Verification" option prevents a username and password from being used simultaneously from two different IP addresses.
- For users of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) with aggressive proxying systems, such as AOL, the "Disable IP Verification" option may be used to help prevent you from being logged out of TimeIPS prematurely.
