This modification allows the administrator to specify the default profile tab, so in other words when you visit a members profile page the tab you specify shows. Its very similar in nature to the recently removed mod "[OzzModz] Default Profile Tab" and can be used as a replacement.
- Ability to enable/disable the modification.
- Ability to set default tab as any of the following:
-- Use Custom Tab Name
-- Visitor Messages
-- My Activity
-- About Me
-- Friends
-- Blog
More importantly is the latter i.e. if you've installed a mod that added a profile tab, you can enter in the name of the custom tab to show as the default - this way when a user visits a member profile on your site the custom tab and its contents are shown instead of visitor messaging (in newer versions of 4.x "My Activity" tab is shown i.e. Activity Stream content.
Very basic mod, screenshots provided.
To access settings: AdminCP > Settings > Options > Innovative Default Profile Tab

although I remember seeing Andreas also post similar code if I'm not mistaken SO with that being said credit is to either of them!
Tips: This mod only allows you to choose which tab should show by default - If you like the custom tab shown in the screenshot, you can code one too and include your own content by following info in this article by Cellarius to make a profile tab.
