When You Need to Add Your Own Unique User Avatar

One of the Key features a chatter is looking for is adding an avatar next to his name.
RumbleTalk gives you the ability to change custom and control your user avatar.

In general, although they look the same, there are several types of avatars.
They are associated with the login option. let’s see what the options are.

User Avatar Default

Guest and Admins by default have default chat avatar. This avatar is showing when login in as guests or as admins. When changing the default avatar is needed, the chat owner can do it using CSS (it is simple, no worries).

To change the avatar, open the chat settings, go to the advanced design, click on the CSS icon and add the CSS code to your preferred chat. Note, you can change the avatar in both web view and mobile view. To see what you need to add, please click on the web/mobile link and go to number 1 tip in this links.

1) If you do not have your own image on the web, you can upload to the chat your image and right click on it to get the avatar link.
2) You can also change the default admin text color (by default admins are logged in with red colour).

How to change a managed user or admin avatar

Managed users are participants who log in with a username and password. These login credentials are created by the group chat owner, by the Register option or via the API when you sync your own userbase to the chat room.

Administrators, once created by the group chat owner, are given moderating authority. They can delete messages and disconnect or ban unruly users.

As a group chat owner, log in to your admin panel and select -> settings -> “User”.

Add a new user with avatar

From there you can view the field to add your own image. This occurs in one of two ways.

  1. Upload Image – upload an image from your computer (recommended)
  2. Image URL – directly copy and paste an image URL

The default user avatar setting is 35×35 pixels but this can be changed using CSS.

Social avatar users

When a group chat owner allows users to log in with their social credentials, they will show in the chat with there social avatar (facebook or twitter).

Using a Stock Alerts Chat Room for Social Traders

There are few sectors where speed and good decision-making is more important than in the financial world. Traders of all levels of skill and experience know that just a few seconds can make all the difference. The way to make a decision correctly is to do so after gaining as much information as possible. What sources one uses for that differ from trader to trader. And of course, so do areas of interest and the type of stock they might be interested in. What does this have to do with a stock alerts chat?

chat room - the old way

There are various ways to do this research. While many of them have their distinct advantages, one of the most well-rounded ways is by taking part in a professional community. If you don’t have access to one locally, one of the best ways to go about this is to find a skilled, knowledgeable online community.

Stock Alerts Chat

This is exactly what a RumbleTalk stock alerts chat can be used for. Set up an admin team with years of experience under their belt and help your users make the best decisions as quickly as possible. With both private and group chats, users can find out what they need to know when they need to know it.

In addition to the chat itself, there is another, even more, valuable feature—stock alerts. Stock alerts provide quick and easy-to-action alerts in real time. These bite-sized recommendations tell users what they need to know at a glance. Best yet, they are unobtrusive enough not to interrupt you while you are busy with something else.

Combining alerts with a chat room into a stock alerts chat is nothing new per se, but it is an essential service in the trading market. The recommendations and tips come from a known guru that shares their knowledge and skill through these alerts. In addition to the recommendations themselves, the chat can help clarify questions, give explanations, and more in real time. And they provide all this while allowing users to hear about their guru’s favorite stocks as soon as he or she does.

What Are the Benefits?

A significant part of trading is making educated guesses and taking chances to get the best payoffs. With this service, a lot of the guesswork involved is removed. Chats give users immediate access to an expert’s recommendations and advice on the movements of the market. They also provide a whole team of experienced admins to answer questions in a live chat every day. The experts can give advice to users new to trading and more experienced ones. The chat is both a tool to improve and to stay on top of an ever-changing market.

The system is very easy to use and intuitive, meaning users will get the hang of it very quickly and notice improvements in their results almost immediately. In other words: they can spend less time on guessing and more time focusing on their work. The stock alerts service is paid-for, thus restricting it to a select few, keeping the available information more relevant and exclusive.

Focus on What Matters

Users can receive the alerts and use the chat on any device of their choosing, from a laptop or computer to a phone or tablet if they are on the go. In fact, you can even set up an auto-login to save you valuable time when accessing the alerts and chats. You’ll be able to review older alerts and chat sections just as you need to. If you miss something, you can always keep up by looking through previous conversations.

The alerts and chat room are suitable for both experienced traders as well as newer ones. So no matter where your users are on their journey, RumbleTalk’s chat and an alert system can be hugely beneficial.

This is especially true for those busy during normal market hours. If one misses an alert or two, the chat keeps the history. This allows users to focus their attention where it’s most needed at the time, and then go back and view it later if need be. All-in-all, the chat lets you know exactly what stocks to narrow your focus on and when to possibly consider adding to what the guru believes to be the best long term, swing trade positions.
