I think a good solution to this without cluttering up the display for the status part anyway, is for login to attempt as normal, and if login fails it queries for some info from the webserver where the status info is held, if status is normal it displays the normal error info for the problem, if the grid is down is displays an info box saying that the grid is down check the website for updates etc.

The reason I don't think the second one is a good idea is that people would try logging in anyway, just to make sure the grid was *really* down. |
