If you reset caches does it show?
Missing item titles in search results
Installation and Configuration
This sounds like the item is missing its title - can you verify the item actually has a title?

thechocolatelife:What is done with the accounts associated with the emails that are determined to be bad?
Brian:This new Kickbox module will validate email addresses on a daily basis, and automatically "unsubscribe" users that fail validation from all system email. It can optionally move the user to a different quota as well.

New "Kickbox" Email Validation module
Installation and Configuration
I've just uploaded a new module that I think Ning users are going to be interested in - especially if you have imported a large number of Ning users from your existing Ning 2.0 site - the new "Kickbox Email Validation" module:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/237/kickbox-email-validation
The Kickbox module will "validate" email addresses by actually checking if the email address is "alive and accepting email". We know that Ning does not provide any type of indication for email addresses that are now bouncing, and after import to a new Jamroom site a large percentage of your user base may no longer have valid email addresses. For some of you on Mailgun this has led to your account being suspended for a short period of time (since sending email to a large number of "bad" addresses is common amongst spammers).
This new Kickbox module will validate email addresses on a daily basis, and automatically "unsubscribe" users that fail validation from all system email. It can optionally move the user to a different quota as well.
A Kickbox account is required, and is free - you can validate up to 100 email addresses per day for free - more if you're willing to pay for more:
http://kickbox.io/
So if you recently imported a Ning site to Jamroom, I would recommend running this new module on a nightly basis until it has had a chance to go through your entire user base before sending out any "bulk" announcements or newsletters - that gives the module a chance to clean up the email addresses in your Jamroom and prevent you from sending to bad email addresses.
I hope you enjoy the new module and let us know if you have any feedback or questions.
Thanks!

S3- Cache
Using Jamroom
DannyA:Does the cloud cache cache and session client use s3 yet?
I assume I have to configure each conversion and cache server with s3 module as well.

No - The "Cache and Session Client" communicates directly with a MySQL server - it does not use S3 in any way.
S3 is only used for profile media (images, audio, video, files, etc.).

I created a mp3 more than 12 hours ago and is getting "This audio file is currently being processed and will appear here when complete."

Then it is corrupted - delete it and try again. If it happens again, the MP3 is bad.
S3- Cache
Using Jamroom
DannyA:I understand where the cache comes into play for caching queries. But, how is a response from the cache folder any faster than a response from the media folder? Aren't you just doubling your storage?
No - it's for cached, resized versions of images. We don't really want to be showing someone a 5mb 4000x3000 version of the image from the media directory when it only needs to be 50x30?
Quote:And yes, I think there should be some script that looks at the TTL of cache objects and deletes anything that has expired; otherwise that folder will just grow and grow exponentially to the amount of content you have.
It's not as simple as that since S3 has no concept of "last access" (unless you want to deal with logging). No matter how long we go until we "expire", at some point we will start expiring valid objects, which we don't want to do. There is no easy solution to that problem, and so for now you would just want to let it grow and do a manual image cache reset from the tools menu say once a month.
I've got some ideas on something that may partially work, but it's not implemented yet.
