The cookie idle timeout limit is currently set to 900 seconds (15 minutes). Unfortunately it is the the same value for everyone and AFAIK cannot be customized on a user by user basis.
If we were to increase it to, say, 1200 seconds (20 minutes), do you think that would be enough? We need to be careful about how much to increase it, as it impacts several things at once (at a minimum, it also impacts the "who's online" listing, that list is based on the same timeout duration after those person's last activities).
Also, what you could do is set the "remember me" option on the board, that way you don't have re-login in the case of a timeout. However posts that were marked as unread before the logout would probably now be marked as read.
