I have been following Russ Worthington's posts at Family Tree Maker User about citing Ancestry.com Member Trees in FTM and I found a way to do the same in Legacy. A way that works for me at least.
I chose to add a generic source and then from the drop down menu Online database.
The Source List Name is the name that you see in your source list for easy retrieval. I put **USE THIS ONE** to make it stand out until I get the others cleared out.
I left the fields for author last name, author given name, author suffix, date and agency/creator blank to get the results that I wanted. Click save and move to the detail section.
In the item of interest field I put the name of the Member Tree in quotation marks, family tree by member name, profile for with birth and death information in parenthesis.

My citation now look like:
