Time from clicking on 'Publish' until hub is published

   I'm new here, though I was on Squidoo seven years ago.  I've written my first hub and clicked 'Publish' three days ago.  There is no sign of my hub being published.  Indeed, looking at the hub, I can't even tell if it's being considered or pending - there's nothing to indicate that I ever clicked 'Publish'.  So, please could you tell me how long hubbers normally have to wait after clicking 'Publish' to see their hub published.  Many thanks.

      Check here: https://hubpages.com/my/hubs/stats The far right column will indicate with a white H on a black circle that it is published. If it's showing an circular arrow, it's still pending.

   Something clearly has gone wrong. On the far right of the article on your list of articles in "My Account", you should have had a swirly arrow thing indicating that the article was going through the review process; then, if it passed, it should have turned into a big H. At the bottom of that screen there is an explanation for all the icons.

      It definitely doesn't take 3 days to review it. One to 2 days at the longest.

         Pandemic.  Employees working from home.  Everything, not just HubPages, is moving more slowly these days.  Be patient.

   Welcome to HubPages, Kate
   
   So there are three options
   
   1. Have you double checked to ensure once your article was concluded, you selected to submit for QA in order to publish
   
   2. I remember when first starting off, you are required to are required to write at least 5 articles, that need to pass through a bootcamp process.
   
   My first few articles did take 2 to 3 days at a time, or in this time check your emails to see if your were updated on any changes that were required to your article.
   
   Once you have passed on boot camp, we will be able to see your articles published.
   
   3. When setting up your profile information, have you opted for your articles to be shown to all.

   Can I just say a big 'thank you' to everyone.  I did check my Stats again and there was still nothing showing to indicate that I had submitted the hub.  So I went back into it to edit it again, and clicked on Publish.  By the time I came out again to look at Stats, it had miraculously been published!  Success.  (I now have a Pending sign.)  Again, many thanks, folks.

   Just to add that today I see that my hub is now featured under 'How to Write'.  Although this is my only published hub at HubPages, when I was with Squidoo seven years ago, I completed the boot camp there and had six articles published.  I need to do some work on these articles before I can re-publish them at HubPages.  But my six Squidoo articles must have counted (articles by Squidoo writers were transferred to HubPages when Squidoo closed), and so I've already graduated from the HubPages bootcamp!  My featured hub is on fiction writing, if anyone's interested to take a look.  Meanwhile, I'm beginning to explore the HubPages Community.
