    I just looked through the user editor and could not find it, Is there a way to flag a user so that they are never logged out for inactivity? I was in the middle of writting a post and had to run to the kitchen and when I came back I had been disconnected from my own board.

    Yes, the 'H' exemption:

    I was in
    the middle of writting a post and had to run to the kitchen and when I came back I had been disconnected from my own board.

    The sysop account (user #1) should automatically get all exemption flags.

    ... It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.

    Did you try a scroll-back (e.g. Alt-B in SyncTERM)?
