The BulletinBoard view will display any bulletins that you receive (i.e., someone on your RF channel or within your APRS-IS port filter has to send them).
The retention period for all YAAC displays is configured on the expert-mode Configuration dialog on the General tab. The "Time to keep" is approximately how long a packet will be held in memory by YAAC for display and analysis purposes. The "Maximum age to view" is how old (relative to YAAC's reception time of the packet) a packet can be before it is no longer displayed. It doesn't make sense for view age to be larger than keep time, since anything that isn't kept can't be viewed, but the opposite can be useful when you want to see more current information and less ancient information in the displays.
"Time to keep" can be forced down automatically by YAAC if you are receiving a large amount of traffic relative to the amount of heap memory you are allowing the Java virtual machine to allocate to YAAC. Rather than have YAAC hang or crash due to out-of-memory errors, YAAC will push down the "Time to keep" setting so the next purge of out-of-date packets will hopefully free up more memory.
Hope this helps.

Thank you Andrew. Yes some of that was typo and most was just wrong on my part. I have made some changes so we will see what happens.
A couple more questions.
Is it possible to populate the bulletin board with bln front aprs-is.
When the message page pops up the messages disappear pretty fast. Where do I stet that to stay longer especially messages sent to my call.
