Note: The following solution works in Threads 7.1. There may be minor differences in later versions, but the concept should be the same.

-----

In the /scripts directory, open newuser.inc.php

On or around Line 636 look for this block of code:
Code
	// VISIBLE SELECTION
	if (isset($regopt['USER_VISIBLE_ONLINE_STATUS'])) {
		$thisoption = <<<EOF
		<tr>
		<td class="alt-1" width="50%">
		{$ubbt_lang['ONLINE_HIDE']}
		</td>
		<td class="alt-1" width="50%">
		<select name="USER_VISIBLE_ONLINE_STATUS">
		<option value="yes" selected="selected">{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_YES']}</option>
		<option value="no">{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_NO']}</option>
		</select>
		</td>
		</tr>
EOF;
Move the "selected" statement. That is, change this:
Code
<option value="yes" selected="selected">{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_YES']}</option>
<option value="no">{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_NO']}</option>
To this:
Code
<option value="yes">{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_YES']}</option>
<option value="no" selected="selected">{$ubbt_lang['TEXT_NO']}</option>
