Reviews now send Emails - March 15th 2026
Whenever any of your uploads gets a review, J2O now sends you an email about the review! This means you don’t have to keep revisiting the Latest Reviews page every day hoping someone will have noticed your work!
By default, emails are turned off for users who self-identified as living in the European Economic Area, which is governed by Article 13 of the ePrivacy Directive, and turned on for everyone else.
Specifically, it’s turned on for non-EEA people because when I asked about this on the JCF, everyone was strongly in favor. This isn’t intended as a scam, it’s intended to make creators happy by telling them that people still like their work. However, because it’s legally required and because it’s the right thing to do, you can toggle this behavior from your edit profile page.
(The same profile setting also emails you when you receive private messages. This was a J2O feature already, but you couldn’t intentionally toggle it, and also the emails are much prettier now than they used to be.)
(I’ve tweaked other parts of J2O since OpenGraph support, this was just the first one that felt like it warranted a news post. You can track the rest [and future changes] in this thread.)
