For me, this plugin removes the text editing part of the visitor message box (pic below) in IE 9 using any style, including default. Resizing the message box restores it.

is it possible to make this work only for a specific usergroup?

[Eq4bits]

maybe wrap it with the vb if member show tags?

if (!$vbulletin->GPC_exists['tab'] AND is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 2)) 
{ 
    $vbulletin->GPC['tab'] = 'aboutme'; 
}

the above code will only work for usergroup 2. Change 2 to any usergroup id you want.

This still works n 4.2 by the way.

Anyone looking for a way to put Visitor Messages back as the default instead of the Activity Stream use this code:

if (!$vbulletin->GPC_exists['tab'])
{
    $vbulletin->GPC['tab'] = 'visitor_messaging';
}

On the same hook (member_build_blocks_start).

Yep, it still works. Andreas showed how to do this a while back.

I've had that running on my site for ages. You should have noticed it there.

Can you explain how to do this in 4.2.0 step by step for the most mentally challenged? Thank you.

Log into the Admin CP.

On the side menu expand "Products & Plugins"

Click on "Plugin Manager"

At the very bottom there is a link to "Add New Plugin"

On that page put in the following information-

Product: vBulletin (this should be default)
Title: Tab Fix
Hook: member_build_blocks_start (from a drop-down list)
Execution Order: 5 (default value)

To make Visitor Messaging the default past this into the PHP Code box:

PHP Code:

if (!$vbulletin->GPC_exists['tab'])
{
    $vbulletin->GPC['tab'] = 'visitor_messaging';
} 


Or to make About Me as the default paste in this instead:

PHP Code:

if (!$vbulletin->GPC_exists['tab'])
{
    $vbulletin->GPC['tab'] = 'aboutme';
} 


Save the plugin and you should be done- go to a profile page to test.
