Exactly the same for me. I'm on Virgin Media in the London area.

Has any one been having trouble getting the site to load? I think it's under going mantenance, but I'm not sure if the problem is only at my end...

I think it was undergoing maintenance but only briefly.

Think you get it for spending a certain amount and having so many reward points. As with most things MFC, it seems to vary as they choose.
I think it allows you to buy larger amounts of tokens at a slightly cheaper rate, not much else.

Looks like Caty Cole has banned UK viewers.

Seems strange as whenever I've been on, she doesn't mind talking about the U.K or Studio 66 when people ask. Most people from the U.K that know of her, already know she's on mfc, and have likely seen her, so this sounds odd. Hope it's nothing serious.

UK people can still watch right, or does the banning prevent anyone from the UK from seeing anything even when watching as a guest?

BTW, did anyone here NOT from the U.K watch her show from Wednesday night? I signed on at 1:50am, Thursday morning, and she was just signing off, so I didn't get to see anything. She's always a bundle of fun

Nope, UK are barred completely, can't even see her profile.
The ban works by IP address geographic location, that's why in the US they can ban by state, but here we can only do a UK wide ban. UK IP's can't be located any more usefully than that (I'm just outside London, but my IP is typically allocated from Milton Keynes, so the geography is vague at best).

I remember we had a discussion about this last year and came to the conclusion that MFC's IP region bans were very hard to overcome. They can sniff out proxy servers, so that method doesn't work.
