It looks like Joomla has some problems handling plus signs in email addresses.
Even though I'd like to point out that plus signs are a legal part of an e-mail address, I've gotten used to the fact that a number of pages won't accept them.

The strange thing here however is that I'm able to enter an e-mail address containing a plus sign on my profile page without any problems or error messages, however afterwards

  • Resetting my password fails with the message "Reset password failed: Invalid email address".

  • Now that I've come to think of it, I haven't recieved neither a confirmation message after purchasing the Victoria sims, nor the preceeding newsletter #3.



If you could get the Joomla people to look into it, so that either

  • plus signs work properly everywhere (preferred option :P)

  • or failing that, that they should reject them outright when you're trying to update your profile


Two million people attempt to use Birmingham's magnificent rail network every year, with just over a million of them managing to get further than Smethwick.

Googling it, it would seem Joomla has been able to cope with them for a year or two now, and we're on a version that is later than that in which it was fixed/implemented. I'll have to look into it a bit more. It's possible it's a third party component that is stopping Joomla.
