Hey @frot, to receive VYB via upvotes you will need the #vyb or #verifyyourbrain tag on your posts then upvotes from staked VYB will apply.
People will receive #vyb for their comments on your post since the comments have been posted in the #vyb tag (a bug has been recently fixed which was causing comments to drop the #vyb tag which then dropped the comment from the www.vybrainium.com frontend).
If you don't want to receive VYB but you still want to receive POB, you can add the tags #novyb or #no-vyb to your #pob, #proofofbrain, or #hive-150329 tagged posts.
Thanks for the feedback about the front-end, I've passed it along! Images haven't been an issue for me on Brave but I'm imagining there will be differences across all the browsers/distros. I wonder how difficult it would be to set up a quick support-request channel on the main page for these bug fixes.
Hope you're having a good start to the week fella!
Thanks for that - do you know where the best place to discuss all this sort of stuff at the moment is?
What I'm trying to do is turn off all the rewards on my posts and comments at this point because they all get auto downvoted and it's trashing my rep
So i'm commenting using the VYB front end but have to keep going back into settings and declining rewards each time because they don't stay that way.
We had an idea for a community feedback and communication layer called POB/VYBetc but I haven't had the time to flesh it all out alongside vyb.earn. Hopefully, something like that will be introduced soon to solve the issue of community -> team feedback.
I'll tag @trostparadox as he knows the details about declining rewards and will be able to answer the question with more clarity.
