1.9 is out today.
Something I like:
-logout rotator
-404 error page
-Resend activation link
-Read more link in article
-Reseller Manager plugin ( This one is $97. I wish it was $47 or better yet Free! :- ) but bought it anyway. This is a must have plugin. Now MemberSpeed owners can “legally” resell memberspeed sites !!! :-) )

There are 2 errors I found after the upgrade.
I was able to fix one. The other one is reported to Tech. Update 01/08: 1.91 patch will be out soon to fix the bugs.

Create Different Homepage with sublinks in MemberSpeed

For those who want to change the default hompage to hiearchy level for SEO purpose, this can be done. ( tested with MemberSpeed 1.81 )

Homepage was designed differently with other pages.

1/  Set the link type as DYNAMIC ( not static )
put this code in the dynamic box:
/cms/index.html

You can aslo create another page under Home category and name it as index2.
Switch your default index to index2 ( link it to navigation )

2/ To change/edit this home page content
go to Site Design Module/Edit Pages/ Change Home Page

How to increase file size limit in MemberSpeed

Many hosts have it as 2MB. This is not MemberSpeed’s fault but it was set by your host. You need to submit a ticket and ask them to increase the file size upload limit to 50MB for example.

If you have root access, you can also try this: copy the following code into a .htaccess file, put it in your root folder. This may not work depending on your host system.
Adjust the post_max_size/upload_max_filesize to 50M for example

php_value file_uploads on
php_value memory_limit 16M
php_value post_max_size 16M
php_value max_input_time 1800
php_value upload_max_filesize 16M
