  • Member Profiles – Default Tabs?

    It was recently asked in the iLance forums how to set which tab is the default that appears on a members profile when someone clicks the link. Our goal here is to make the Full Profile tab be our default visible tab whenever someone clicks a username link to go to their profile. There are several ways to accomplish this, so lets review them. First we need to know how iLance prints the username and it’s associated link. One might think it’s straight forward, and that editing the html... Read→
