I’m at a convenient but vaguely unsatisfying stopping point in this saga.

I ended up nuking all the lovely AJAX buttons on the /activity page in favor of HTML form buttons like this one

<li style="float:left;" <?php if ($_POST["activity-tab"] == "friends") { echo 'class="selected"'; }?>">

<form action="" method="post">

<input name="activity-tab" value="friends" type="hidden" />

<input style="border:0px" type="submit" value="My Friends" />

</form>

</li>

Then later include()ing a custom stream and resetting the $_POST value to empty:

...

<?php if( $_POST["activity-tab"] == "friends" ) { $_POST["activity-tab"] = ""; include( 'activity-loop-friends.php' ); } ?>

...

The ideal solution here would be to somehow rewrite the cookie/display functions in global.js to “forget” the user’s last selected tab, but I was not smart enough to figure that one out…
