@mercime : Thanks – placing the “span.activity { display: none; }” in the css worked for me. Q: Now that the activity is hidden, would it be possible to display the users phone# in that same spot? http://www.pciba.org/members Thanks

Found solution on my buddypress site – This drove me crazy .. My clients wanted ‘Profile’ to show first when their link was clicked on. OK, makes sense for this site.
1. Did not work: This method broke my buddydress theme in IE (but not Mozilla) – adding ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’); ‘ to bp-custom.php and uploading it to /wp-content/plugins. .. useless for me.
2. Worked – adding ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’);’ to my wp-config.php file (up top, above – ‘// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //’) – UREEKA BABY!!
I’m using buddypress 1.2.7 , buddydress themes and wordpress 3.0.4 – Hope this helps someone..
