ClubMail specials such as a rose, a kiss or an owl are special tokens that you can send to other members as an attachment, by way of a gift or a treat, or to say something special.
What happens when I send a special?
Specials are more than just an attachment to a ClubMail: They also change the recipient’s profile. Firstly, the special appears as a small image in the recipient’s profile photo. Secondly, the background of the recipient’s profile also changes. When you send a rose, for example, the plain black background is replaced by a "rosy" background.
On JOYclub, there are specials that are always available and one-off specials that can only be selected on certain holidays or special occasions.
How do I send a special?
When you write a ClubMail, all the specials that can be selected will be displayed in a line above the text window. Click on the special you want and it will then be displayed in a larger view, including any costs involved. As soon as you send the ClubMail, the recipient will receive a special ClubMail.
You can change the selected special by clicking on another special.
If you decide not to send a special after all, you can remove it by clicking on the X.
Note: While some specials are free, others have to be purchased with coins. Further information on coins & specials can be found here. Also, you cannot send all specials to all members. A kiss, for example, can only be sent to friends.
How do I see who has sent me a special?
You will be informed about every special by ClubMail. Next to the sender of the ClubMail you will see a small special symbol showing you which special you have received. If you delete the message, you will not be able to find out later who sent you a special.
