Change to Pulse feature - Effective January 21, 2013

Effective immediately, a new rule is being implemented for the Pulse feature that will affect all IMVU customers irrespective of their registration date or status:

We will no longer allow any non-IMVU links to be posted in a pulse post or comment. Shortened URLs will also not be allowed to be posted.

All links must be to IMVU website pages - product pages, groups, forum posts, public rooms, photos posted in IMVU's albums are considered IMVU links and therefore allowed.

All users irrespective of their registration date will be able to use Pulse feature to make their own posts or comment on other community members' pulse posts.

Thank you.

wow lol this is really kind of messed up in a way. It does keep the fraud accts from spamming those fraud creds sites but it also takes away from alot of creator's who make advertisements for their products as well as graphic editors who wish to show off their art.

How are we supposed to pulse product ads if we can't link tinypic images

Varsha I know you guys think this is a good idea but the entire IMVU is outraged. We use links for blogs, artwork, and everything else. Please fix this, I think everyone who already had this privilege to link links should keep it! Pulse it for advertisement! We know which links to click and which ones not to. PLEAAAASE DEAR GOD DONT DO THIS. IMVU will fall, pulse has made it famous. It's going to be a domino effect. Pulse boring Imvu boring...money loss and no one wins.

Where can creator's host their ad's ? Because a lot of work does go into them to market their products. Tragic.

EXCUSE ME?
NOBODY, and i mean NOBODY likes this new rule, please go back to the old way This isn't fair or right, I don't think you understand that Us pulsers are helping your Imvu popularity, One because we bring it to life, we create modeling pages, we make music videos, blogs, we're basically promoting Imvu. How can we spread the promotion to other Imvu people when there's only Imvu links allowed on pulse? The stupidity is too real.
Please go back to the old way, trust me more people are after this new rule and are striking for a change.

That's a terrible idea considering we need other links to pulse product advertisements... You guys should atleast exclude websites like photobucket, tinypic, tumblr, gyazo and blogging websites.

Okay honestly this is messed up just because fake accoutns were posting hack links doesnt mean take Link postin away from everyone ! the whole imvu community is going crazy , Reason everyone is going to Second Life now , We all have put in money into this game for our fun , I don't see any of imvu staff on here paying money that we put in for yall to get your pay checks ! I honestly disagree , if people really have a problem they can always set pulse to friends only this is outrageous an unfair !

I'm sorry, this is a terrible idea.
A lot of people link to images of their new products.
Link to their blogs, etc.

I mean it's good IMVU wants to reduce spam, but this is insane.

It's like FB saying, hey.. you can only talk about fb on here.

Well this new rule can stop some non sense but its not really affective , atleast open gyazo and the main trusted websites such as tinypic and more ,
