What Is IMVU?

Capital IMVU users use 3D avatars to interact with others, chat, create, and play games. As of 2011, IMVU had approximately six million active players and the most extensive virtual goods catalog with over six million items. Previously, the company was based in Mountain View, California. It was regarded as one of the foremost proponents of the lean startup methodology. The name of the company was neither an acronym nor an initialism.IMVU co-founder Eric Ries explained how the company got its meaningless name by accident, saying, “It’s not an acronym; it doesn’t stand for anything.”

If the site is operational, but you are unable to access the page, try one of the following solutions:

Browser-Related Issues

• Forcing a complete site refresh. This can be accomplished by pressing CTRL + F5 on your preferred browser (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.)

• Clear your browser’s temporary cache and cookies to ensure that you will have a recent web page version. Choose your browser, such as Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, for instructions.

Repair DNS Issues

• A Domain Name System (DNS) associates a website’s IP address (192.168.x.x) with words (*.com) to make it easier to remember, similar to a phonebook for websites. Your Internet service provider typically provides this service.

• Clear your local DNS cache to ensure that you are using the most recent cache from your ISP. For Windows, open Command Prompt, type “ipconfig /flushdns,” and press Enter. Select your operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X, for more information.

• If you can access a website from the office or a 3G network, but it does not work on your computer, using a DNS service other than your ISP is a good idea. Both OpenDNS and Google Public DNS are excellent free public DNS services.
