      Okay the quickest way is to click the arrow and select market and you need to buy the steem on the left column....

      Then once it moves up to the top row, you will click the arrow and select power up to move it back into steem power.

      and noob on. I am glad you are here!

        hmmm.. the arrow to the right of the 14.977 that drops down the options of Power Down or Buy?

        I could be reading it wrong but it looks like it's taking me to a Bitcoin to Steem Power option and I don't have a Bitcoin wallet yet?

        So glad you posted this! I had no idea of the consequences.

          Well, pretty sure I just did that right.

          Thanks again for this... so many things to learn.

          I'm very thankful you're such a clever creator! I think you've just saved a lot of people a lot of potential headaches. Have a beautiful night!!

              Redeeming rewards is not the same as powering down. Redeeming actually increases your Steem Power; it "banks" the SP (as well as the Steem Dollars) that you've earned through posting and curation. (Why Steemit makes you click that button instead of just automatically adding it to your SP balance, I have no idea.)

                i agree, but she had not been moving the redeem sbd into her steem power.... this is the part that many folks miss. and many others are powering down...if you look into their wallets.
