 * I set up the widget for a site I just created. I have done some custom css for
   the background and label size. Now when I click submit with no email I get the
   message please enter an email. Thats okay. So then I enter an email, hit submit,
   the message clears but nothing else happens. Email stays inside label and nothing
   has shown up in worpdress dashboard under subscribers. Help?

 * It looks like no list is selected on the widget settings.
 * You will need to go make sure you have created a public list on the subscribers
   tab.
 * Then you will see a checkbox on the widget settings for the list. Check that 
   and your widget should start working.
 * Let me know if you have any questions about the setup.
 * Best,
    Josh

 * hi,
 * you will have to go to the SendPress menu on the left and then the Subscribers
   tab.
 * If you have already created a list you can click ‘List Settings’ and then check‘
   Allow user to sign up to this list’.
 * if you don’t have any lists you will need to create one and check the same box.
 * You will then be able to pick a list on the widget settings.

 * Are you referring to the “daily newsletter” widget area? I don’t see any error
   on the page. Could you provide a screenshot of your widget settings? And possibly
   provide the information described in this knowledgebase article?

 * I reviewed the e-mail that you sent.
 * You have a couple problems with your server. The major problem is that you are
   running MySQL 5.0. We do not support MySQL 5.0. If you can upgrade to MySQL 5.1
   or 5.5 you should be in good shape. The other potential problem you have is that
   you are running PHP 5.2. We have released several fixes for PHP 5.2 and have 
   a couple more fixes to be released soon. It’s possible you are running into one
   of those PHP 5.2 bugs. But regardless of PHP versions, your MySQL version is 
   your biggest problem.
