Update – 7-21-09 4:04 PM PDT: Please see the latest post with an update on the three most common comments from this post here.
You asked, we listened. Several of the features you’ve asked for since we unveiled the All-New 3D Chat are now available for use in the latest release (416.0). You can download the latest release here.
New Features now available include:
Shopping
- Actions: You now have the ability to try actions, that trigger animations within the Shop mode before making a purchase (see screenshot below). You’ll notice that the action words are color coded to match the frame around the related product.
For those unfamiliar with “actions”, or “triggers”, these are a kind of action that is embedded into a product you are wearing (like an avatar or a pet), a piece of furniture, or a room. When you type a specified word into the text box, it initiates the animation within the product or room. Blush Trigger is an example of a product with an action. If you own this product and type “blush” into the text box, the cheeks on your avatars turn pink. You can find more examples by searching “trigger” within the product catalog.
- Undo: You can now undo, or revert back to, the last item or outfit you had on. Easily remove a product or outfit that you’ve tried on (see screenshot above).
- Carousel: Previously, the shopping carousel at the bottom of the dress up area of Shop mode displayed a history of everything you try on in 3D Chat. Now, it only shows what your avatar has on, to make it easier to find what you are trying on.
- Credits mode: You can now easily add credits to your cart to purchase right from within 3D Chat (see screenshot below).
Friends
- Finding Friends: You can now search by avatar name in the search box in the Find People mode to easily find your friends. *Please note that it may take a couple days before you find all your friends by searching for them since it will take a little time to populate the databases.
- Adding Friends: We’ve added a new button in the Find People mode (see screenshot below) that allows you to make new friends more easily. Also, within the Friends window, you can now to enter an avatar name and send a Friend Request.
Chat Invites
- We’ve added messaging to confirm when your chat invitation has been sent, so you aren’t left guessing.
- When you invite someone to chat from your room, you will now stay in your room (rather than ending up in the person’s room that you invited).
Inbox
- Missed Chats: We’ve added a new tab within the Inbox mode that allows you to find missed chat invitations more easily.
My Room vs. Decorate Room
- We’ve renamed “Decorate Room” to “My Room” to reduce confusion. You’ll still use the My Room mode when you want to edit your room.
The team is continually working on even more new features, for a sneak peek; please review my post from July 10th.

diamonds it realy true i like dat old1 beta
I love the new look for IMVU but there are some problem’s with it such as the action bar.if I want to give a hug or exc I have to scroll down till I find it witch if you ask me take’s to long.The way it was set up as the 419.0 is better because I can just click on the avi and hug and ect with out having to scroll down to find what I am looking for,is there a way IMVU can mix say the action,mood,profile,moves and ect with the new 422.0 or the 423.0? My view is that it would bring in new people with out the hassle of having to scroll down all the time and ect.I also find that with the 422.0 there are bugs in it as before but not as much,is there a way IMVU can possibility fix it to stop lagging and sever crashing? I thank you for your time.

i miss the old imvu
hey they changed the imvu.
I think it would be nice if you added a feature to IMVU, allowing us to trade products. Because I have a lot of items that I really don’t want, and someone else may want. Thank you
Wow. You really need to make imvu for macs.
I miss it.

Hey guys! We really need you do something about the DRESSING ROOM. The way it is now limit us a lot trying to build a complete outfit (we can’t match products from our inventories and the catalog, as we could in the oldest versions). Personally, I dont bought NOTHING that don’t matches with my own stuffs. Would you fix this situation in the next versions, please? The old red Dressing Room was GREAT!
