NB> Yes, that is a blessing... :) I noticed that the bbs stayed up... :)

I have everything on UPS units to at least keep things running when there are
power fluctuations and short power outages.

A few years ago when we had a huricane, we lost power for over 24 hours but
you would never know.  I had the entire house running on own portable
generator - including the server that runs the BBS, website, etc.

Next time you login, from the main menu type "D" for defaults.  Just ensure
you have the [Pause] on pages turned on.  I have seen that get turned off by
accident before, even on my account.
