Select a project, check ‘Enabled’ and hit save again.

With the FogBugz integration set up, you can now go to any error group in the Raygun application and see the FogBugz icon next to the error name near the top right of the screen. Clicking this will give you options to create new issue in FogBugz, or attach error groups to existing FogBugz issues, all directly from within Raygun. When working with the item in FogBugz you can jump back and see all the details about the crash too via the URL in the issue, so you can fix it quickly.
