I think that I am having the same basic problem that you are having. When I go to the vbarticles category page and click submit new article it gives me the box to put in all the info. I put my article in there and click submit and it pops up saying:

The article you submitted will be reviewed and added to the database

Here is where I am a tad confused. It will not show up under the articles list. I am also confused when you guys say it wont appear in validate. Where is this because I have not seen a block or list that shows articles waiting to be validated. I have managed to get a couple other articles in there by putting test in the block and then going into the control panel and clicking edit. I can then paste all of my HTML and it will show up. Part of this might be that I am running VBPortal too. Everything seems to be working for the most part though...just a few hiccups.
