Update: Activity Insights & Most Active Rooms for Plus/Premium + Quality-of-Life Sweep

This update lands two big new sections for Plus and Premium members — plus a long polish round for everyone.

Activity Insights — new on Profile Viewer

Plus and Premium members now see a full Activity Insights section on every profile — an overview of where and when this user is active over the last 12 weeks.

  • Last Spotted — instantly see which room someone was last spotted in, how long ago, and a direct link straight to that room.
  • Online Pattern — a 24-hour line chart showing when someone is most active, plus a 7-day overview that highlights their busiest day (e.g. "Most active Fridays around 4pm").
  • Most Active Rooms — top 5 rooms where this user is seen most often, ranked by snapshot count.

Free users see a blurred preview with an upgrade prompt.

Most Active Rooms — new on Room List

When you look up a user in Room List, Plus and Premium members now get a full Most Active Rooms sidebar showing that person's top 5 rooms. Expand any row and you get:

  • 12 Week Trend — a histogram of weekly snapshot counts so you can immediately tell whether someone still hangs in their favorite spot or just moved on.
  • Peak Time — which day + hour that person is usually in that specific room.
  • First Seen Here + total time spent + visit count.
  • Direct jump to every snapshot in that room.

On mobile the same data is one tap away via the lightning-bolt button next to the tabs.

No more "Guest_" everywhere

The Guest_ prefix that IMVU sticks on every username now gets stripped automatically across the entire site — in search suggestions, profile headers, room snapshots, recent lookups, room modals, everywhere. So @Guest_Example simply shows as @Example. The copy button also copies the clean handle, and search works with or without the prefix.

Favorites sidebars rebuilt across the board

The favorites sidebars got a full pass on all three pages. On the landing state of Room List and Room History there's now a vertical favorites card on the right; as soon as you search for a user, Room List switches to a 5-column tile grid with hover-zoom. On Profile Viewer (desktop) you get the same 5-tile grid, and on mobile a horizontal strip at the top. Thumbnails are now consistently square-with-rounded-corners instead of circles — fits both rooms and profiles better.

The locked version of those cards (for free accounts) now uses the same blurred-preview treatment as Activity Insights, with better contrast in light and dark mode so the upgrade text is finally readable.

Favorites picker in the room search bar

On the room detail page (desktop) there's now a small avatar-stack of your favorited rooms inside the search bar itself — click it and you get a dropdown listing every favorite with a "Here" marker on the room you're currently viewing. On mobile those same favorites appear as a horizontal strip below the search bar.

Mobile: everything sticky

The tab row (Snapshots / Sessions / Rooms), filter button and search are now sticky on mobile across Room List, Room History and the room detail page. Scroll a long list and the controls stay accessible at the top. The filter input is collapsed behind a magnifier icon by default so the row doesn't feel cramped.

Sidebar nav polish

Profile Viewer moves above Room List in the main nav (more natural starting point), and the IMVUBot logo now renders correctly in the mobile drawer too. Skeleton loaders also got a proper shimmer-sweep effect that runs smoothly in both light and dark mode.

Smaller fixes

  • Help guides for Rooms, Room History and Profile Viewer rewritten to match the actual current behavior — including brand-new sections for Activity Insights and Most Active Rooms.
  • Recent Lookups on the dashboard now also strips Guest_ from displays.

As always — let us know if anything feels off. Open a ticket via Support or hop in the Discord.
