I can;t get anything to click at my status to change it. it is currently blank.

You may need to file a ticket and see if they can reset it or something if it's entirely blank? On your username hover, I do see a backslash there but I'm not sure if that's just how empty statuses are currently showing up or if it should be visible in the sidebar for you to click on

Thank you I shall now. The backslash shows on the hover, but not on the actual screen.

I'm having the same problem, and shall do the same.
