How long does it take after you link adsense to hubpages for it to show as "active" on earnings page?

You have to be approved by Adsense first, which can take as much as two days. If you have signed up correctly, it should say "pending" right away. If it doesn't say "pending" you've done something wrong.

I had to go onto hubpages using Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Explorer...NOW it says "association pending! " I'm so glad it finally works! We used to have Mozilla Firefox on our other computer, but I didn't have it on this one.

Thanks so much for responding!

Apparentley in some countries you need to wait up to 6 months to be linked with hubpages to start earning, Im not sure why and it's only really from small countries..... hopefully someone can fill in the details on this for us both.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
