I have submitted my first article but it does not reflect in the articles tab of "my earnings" section. Forum posts and topics that I start are also not reflecting. Why is this happening?
After submission, it goes to the editor. After Editor's approval , it goes to the Administrator who fixes CC, Only then, your article appears in the article section.
Well, you should have seen article in Dashboard>My article section even if it is rejected or pending mode. If it is not there then it is something wrong and you can resubmit it.
The article should be listed in My Earnings->My Articles section, if not you might did something wrong. Always take a backup of your article before clicking submit.
Your forum posts should be listed under forums section only.
