Thanks for your help so far. We'll see if such a person visits this post.

Maybe some admin can move this topic to the module development forum, as it has evolved from something I thought would be a skin development question to a coding problem.

In VB this should work:    
                    Dim objUserInfo As UserInfo = UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo
                    If objUserInfo.UserID <> -1 Then
                        Response.Write(UserProfileURL(objUserInfo.UserID))
                    End If

This is the URL for the default Manage Profile tab in DNN7:
/ActivityFeed/tabid/57/ctl/Profile/userId/1/pageno/3/Default.aspx

This gets the current UserID:
<%= UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo().Userid %>

Put it all together and what have we got:
(a href="/ActivityFeed/tabid/57/ctl/Profile/userId/<%= UserController.GetCurrentUserInfo().Userid %>/pageno/3/Default.aspx") Manage Profile  (/a)
Replace the brackets with angle brackets.

Regards
Rob

Had to change the last post as the forum messed up the code.

@Timo: This will (in dnn7) get me to the same url as /Activityfeed:
http://dnndev.me/ActivityFeed/tabid/217/UserId/1/language/en-US/Default.aspx
Which is the page with all the social stuff on it, while I would much rather direct the user directly to his account page (which is a button on the  activityfeed page):
http://dnndev.me/ActivityFeed/tabid/217/ctl/Profile/userId/1/pageno/1/language/en-US/Default.aspx

I'm not building a social site I just want a user to be able to change it's password, address and phone numer, without all the social media stuff.

The more interesting question is how does one come to know about the existence of the UserProfileURL method? (Or the UserController object, or what a userId of -1 means.)

 @ROB: I don't think hardcoding the tabid is a good idea, or will even work. Every site I have (even those on the same DNN instance and/or created using the same site template) has a different tab-id for the user profiles.
