Having problems changing email settings for the "Get FISA right" group?

We are getting scattered reports of people who haven't been able to change their email settings on the myBO page. If this happens to you, first of all, please try again double-checking that you're following the instructions -- if there was just an intermittent glitch trying a second time often works.

1. Go to http://www.barackobama.com/index.php
2. Click the Log in to MyBo link on the right
3. When you reach your MyBo Dashboard page, look for the list of groups you've joined.
4. Click the name of this group (SenatorObama-PleaseVoteAgainstFisa...) in your group list.
5. In the group home page, look for LISTSERV section that has e-mail options.
6. Choose the e-mail option you want (daily digest gets you one e-mail per day, or you can choose "no e-mail").
7. Click Change My Subscription. (You can also choose to leave the group from this page. We ask that you consider remaining enrolled, since in the game of politics numbers are power.)

Next, wait a couple of hours; the load on the site is so high that it sometimes takes it a while to process the request.

If you're still having problems, please contact myBO support Please report the problem to the myBO support using the "other thoughts and questions" button on the myBO contact page. Please be polite -- they probably never expected such heavy usage from an email list, and remember that people are volunteering ove a three day weekend! -- and make sure to tell them what you would like your settings to say.

Then leave your name in this thread, along with a copy of the message you sent them, in this thread. This way, if the admins can figure out a way to reset your settings (right now it doesn't seem possible) we'll have a list of who needs help. To track updates to this and other issues, and to see how else you can stay informed, please check the Communications page on the wiki.

Very, very, sorry to all for the inconvenience,

prediction thread: how many people in the myBO group on July 8?

The number of people in the Senator Obama - Please, No Telecom Immunity and Get FISA Right group is the most important number we're tracking. Our original goal was "over 13000 by the time the FISA vote happens", i.e., the largest group on myBO ... we're clearly going to exceed that. How much farther can we take things?
