How to Look People Up on IMVU by Their Username
By Melissa King
Much more than just a regular chat room, IMVU enables you to create a 3-D avatar and interact with other users in a virtual environment. IMVU boasts over 100 million registered users worldwide, so finding a new friend might seem like a daunting task. If you already know a user's avatar name, though, you can search for him in the IMVU directory.
Step 1
Visit IMVU and sign in to your account.
Step 2
Hover your mouse pointer over "Community" at the top of the page. Click "People Search."
Step 3
Scroll down to the "Find a Friend" section.
Step 4
Click the drop-down menu and select "Avatar Name."
Step 5
Enter the avatar name of the person you want to find, and then click "Search." People with matching usernames will appear in the results list.
Tips
- If you can't find someone's avatar name, try searching for her email address in the Find a Friend section.
- If you're looking for someone new, you can also search for users who match your preferences. For example, you might search for people by age, gender, relationship status or interests.
