I'm happy to look up that kind of information for people on Duotrope, but on request. If one is seriously in the game, it's worth paying for an account there, or use Submission Grinder.

Generally no, as most publications don't consider a story published if it's posted on a forum that requires login, BUT policies differ from publication to publication. Best to check with them to be sure.
