    First, you have make sure the publishing finished. You can wait in the editor for the status to change, or if you go into the live game you'll get a message in the "System Notify" text telling you it's finished publishing. Sometimes it can take quite awhile, even an hour or more.

    Once it publishes, it gives you a code that identifies your quest. The code will be NW-BLAHBLAH4. The only way to find your quest for awhile is to type that code, using all caps, into the search box on the "Best" tab in the catalog. It should be there immediately, but you will only find it using that code.

    It's usually somewhere in the range of five to twenty minutes. You'll receive an in-game mail telling you it was successful, and the status in the top-right corner will change from "currently publishing" to "published". Barring database weirdness, it should be visible in-game immediately after that. Keep in mind that quests that are still under review can't be searched by name or author. You have to search them by their short code (NW-[alphanumerics]), and that search has to be from the "Best" tab (searches on "New" don't work).

    :( Not sure. Double check your assigned code, and make sure you use all caps, in the top search box on the "Best" tab. Some people have been reporting problems with publishing lately, so there may be a bug in the system. If all else fails, try republishing (just click the "Publish" button again from the editor) and see if you can find it after that.

    On a side note, what's the code? I'll search and see if I can find it.
