How to stop slopping your greeting images (Quick and Dirty HTML Guide)

Hey there! Its me again. I made this guide about a month ago Quick and Dirty Free Model Replacement. I'm back with a new one. Ran it through gemini once to make sure it made sense.

This guide is made because I'm tired of seeing giant images fill the whole greeting on pc.

So you just spent hours crafting a meticulously detailed dark fantasy greeting, genned a hundred variations of clothes and poses until you got the paladin in the dark woods tripping overherself image juuuuust right. Now you're ready to merge the two together.

But, oh no! You did what every other creator tells you to do and slapped down a lazy *Processing img url...* and called it a day. Now your bot's first message looks like a blown-out mess because the image is splicing the greeting in half instead of incorperating into it and is instead filling the full screen, or worse, is akwardly hanging off the left side like some kinda blocky flag.

Don't worry. There is another way: HTML.

But... HTML is scary and I don't know how to code

Yeah, staring at brackets can be a PITA when you just want to get your bot published. But it takes exactly two seconds to copy-paste this snippet, and it immediately makes your card more functional for anyone not on mobile.

Instead of the standard markdown, drop this into your greeting:

<img src="YOUR_IMAGE_LINK_HERE" style="display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 50%;">

What is this actually doing? (The QoL Upgrades)

1. Selecting the position of the Image

display: block; margin: 0 auto;

This here will be the same 99% of the time. It's only purpose is saying to the computer: This image is a new paragraph, and should be centered. With it, instead of it hanging off to the left and making text wrap weirdly, it creates a natural break between your paragraphs.

Why? display: block makes the image act like its own paragraph/box, which (when combined with margin) can be centered directly on itself instead of needing a wrapper <div>.

2. Controlling the Width (Making the image fit)

max-width: 50%;

Nothing ruins immersion faster than all the text dissapearing around a giant image. Setting a max-width (play around with 20% to 60%, or you can specify a px size) ensures the image scales gracefully. It keeps the art visible but proportional, by setting a hard ceiling on size while allowing it to shrink.

If you have a image appearing to small you can also use: width: XX%, which will keep the image at XX% of whatever the space (the greeting box) is.

TLDR: Max-width is a safety net, capping the size so it doesn't crowd out test, or blowout and get pixilated on a big screen, while still shrinking on mobile.

3. Rounded Corners (The professional touch)

border-radius: 15px;

Make your shit look clean, deliberate. this here adds in how sharp or rounded the corners are.

Putting it all together

*The heavy oak doors swing open, revealing the pained hero...*
<img src="IMAGELINK" style="display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 55%; border-radius: 15px;">
*A figure falls out from the shadows, faceplanting into the ground.*

Really. That's it. It's a tiny formatting tweak that makes a massive difference for anyone using a card on computer. It makes the image slides into place rather then feeling like its spliting the experience apart, or having to go at the end. Plus, it shows the user that you actually care about the presentation.

This is just a small bit of what you can do, models can suggest many options or additions or modifications.

I hit 20 messages. What can I do now? (Quick and Dirty Guide)

So you're knee deep into your self insert fantasy and your about to finally slay the dragon or go on a date when the error message pop up. You're out of messages. What can you do?

There is no such thing as a free lunch: earn it, make it, or pay for it.

Options

  1. Wait 24hrs

  2. Learn how to use OR

  3. Cough up the 20USD to get SOJI

But...

  • Crypto is scary

New things are scary. Yeah, crypto is a PITA and is confusing, but its the only option Chub's got left. Its been through patreon, kofi, multiple payment processors, paypal and this is just the world we live in now. See below on how to use crypto if your confused, or if you are adement on staying crypto free, check out OR.

  • Does this mean chub is going to uncensor?

No, because lawsuits are expensive and get out of jail free cards don't work in real life.

  • 20$ Is a lot...

Perhaps it is where you live. However, consider the flip side. The cost of the compute doesen't change between a user in argentinia and a user in the USA. The reason it is that high is because chub is not a big platform that can take advantage of scale discounts, and is offering something most others don't. Near unlimited use of a SOTA model without paying per token. Most membership based inference companies either are hosting smaller models or have outside funding. Not Chub.

  • Okay, but I don't use ai enough to justify pissing away 20$ each month.

So, if you aren't a power user who can take advantage of a membership, I recomend you look at OR, with deepseek v4 pro. Your $10 gets you: ~13.6 million total tokens, depending on time of day and traffic. Use this preset if you don't have one.

Guidance :)

Option 1: Wait it out

Your quota will reset 24hr after your last message.

Option 2: External API

OR gives 50 total free messages a day, shared across all their free models. Topping up 10USD into the account increases the limit to 1000 total free messages/day, and the credit lasts for a year.

I'd use Deepseek. No matter what, it's important to know these free models do get overloaded at times and thats just how it goes.

Credit too, as well as more information here:

Option 3: Direct subscription

Step 1. Buy on CASHAPP/METAMASK Step 2. [Go to the Sub Site (select relevant cypto, I'd use USDT)](https://chub.ai/subscription) Step 3. Pay

Really. Thats it.

  • In America, you can buy crypto through traditional finance apps like Cashapp. Alternatively, you can use a marketplace like binance to buy with, or buy it on a wallet like METAMASK.

If things aren't adding up, there is also a guide in the discord for how to pay with crypto

I have questions about the changes!

Please be patient and polite to community helpers, you are not the first or last frustrated user they will be talking to today.

P.S. I am not a guide or helper, I'm just some random user who has been seeing the chaos and put together everything I've found so far into this post.
