Reservation Missing

Andew Mussey made a reservation for Feb. 2 (possibly Feb 3?) and had the $43 taken from his account, but never a confirmation email. I can't find him anywhere in the system on the reservations area (future, canceled, etc) but I did find him in the people database. His status is 'canceled' but there are no reservation details: https://pt.hostelsnap.com/guests/reservation_details/8735 He did actually want to cancel, so I refunded his payment manually via paypal, but I thought you may want to look into this. The only clues I have: He said when he hit submit it just refreshed the reservation page. His email has a + sign in it which often causes problems in websites (his words).

I think the 10 minutes before automatic page reload was too little so, I now changed the rules like this:

reload publicreservations page after 10 minutes of IDLE time 
OR
after 29 minutes of not making a reservation

Also @darren85 I had no idea there can be email addresses with a + sign... I tried creating a google account with a + inside right now and they didn't let me.

@neeeeeeext  Yes, you can't create accounts with a plus sign, but you can add words after the plus sign to help you track and sort who you are giving your email address to (and who is using if for spam).  See http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/2-hidden-ways-to-get-more-from-your.html
