Everytime I try to enter the cockpit I get a "Server is Down" error.
It has been this way for a couple of days, but my friends tell me they don't have the same problem.
The problem in this case is actually your browser's cache. Clear it and it will work fine again.
Explanation: Your browser saves website data to allow quicker access/reduced loading times. In this case, the browser saved the "Server Down" page for your cockpit. Clearing the cache allows your browser to get the current page's data.
