IMVU is a 3-D chat application that lets you set an avatar for your friends to see. It also features a badge system, which lets you collect badges and display them on your avatarโ€™s profile snapshot. To start getting badges for IMVU, see step 1.

  1. Find an avatar with the badge you want. Click on an avatarโ€™s name to display its profile card.
    • The avatarโ€™s badges should be displayed at the bottom of the card. Look for the one you like.
  2. On the avatar profile card, click on โ€œProfileโ€ at the lower left. This will take you to the userโ€™s profile home page.
    • If the badge you want doesnโ€™t appear there, look for another avatar that has it on its home page (step 1 and 2). Some users will also set their home page private, so looking for a particular badge can take some time.

  3. When youโ€™ve found a home page that displays the badge you want, click the badge beside the profile picture.
    • The userโ€™s friends should appear at the bottom if the profile isnโ€™t private, and their badges should be displayed as well, provided that they didnโ€™t set that to private either.
    • Click on the badge and the expanded image should appear. If you click it, it should take you to the badgeโ€™s info page. The name of the badge should be under โ€œSearch Catalog,โ€ right after โ€œProduct by.โ€ Remember the badgeโ€™s name for the next step.
  4. In the address bar of your browser window, type in โ€œavatars.imvu.com/[badge name]โ€ without the quotes and the brackets. It should take you to an avatar page of the badgeโ€™s creator.
    • Look for the badge you want by scrolling down the bottom of the page. When you see the badge you want, click on โ€œRequest badgeโ€ right beside your desired badge.
    • An info pop-up should appear, telling you that you have received the badge.
  5. Now that you have the badge, itโ€™s time to use it. Head back to your profile page by clicking โ€œAccountโ€ on the right part of the page where you requested the badge.
    • You should be taken to the Accounts, Settings, and Tools for your profile. Scroll down until you see your profile card.
    • A list of available badges should be right below your profile card. Simply drag the badge you acquired to a vacant badge slot on your profile card.
    • Your new badge should appear on your profile card. To check, click on your profile picture at the top of the page and you should see your new badge under all your displayed badges on your profile card.

    All you have to do is Google search 'IMVU badge'. There is a website dedicated to listing out available badges (free, for trade or buy) called The Bling Directory. From there, you can choose whichever badge you like and go to the respective homepage.

    Reset all of the panels from your home page. You can do so by going to your account (in IMVU classic website) and scroll down until you reach the "Reset Homepage Panels'' section.
