Duncan, thanks for your suggestion. I like the idea and will see if we can do something like that. However, even if we do implement your suggestion, that doesn't really address the question of whether it's better from an SEO perspective to have our member pages on the same subdomain as our site.

Will our homepage rank better if the 100,000 member pages that link to ourdomain.com remain at OurDomain.com/member/<member dir>

Or would it be better to have them at member.ourdomain.com/<member dir> ?

Thanks,
Paul
