However, when I configure it (more info below) and hit 'Start mining!', nothing happens - bottom bar looks like this:

My Setup

Miner: Ufasoft CPU miner

According to mining.bitcoin.cz, getwork protocol is removed. Use the stratum protocol instead. stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

Getwork protocol support ended. Please be sure your miners support Stratum protocol. You can still use your old getwork miners with Stratum proxy installed on your mining rig.
