#quicktabs-TABID-DEFAULTTABID would be good format. queries are hard to manipulate with javascript. instead of ?quicktabs_3=1#quicktabs-3 better format would be #quicktabs-3-1

I tested the module and currently when I click on a tab, it doesn't seem to change the URL at all.
Problem:
User goes to page X, that has tab Y open.
User clicks tab Z on that page.
He now sees entirely different content and wants to share this content with his friend.
He copies the URL from the address bar.
His friend opens the URL, and sees the tab Y open, not the Z.

Vast majority of the users can't copy the link of the tab, so if the active tab doesn't appear as a hash in the URL, there's a big usability problem with this.

So subscribing - I think clicking the tab should change the URL by adding/changing hash.

you can definitely use panels + default drupal tabs to make exactly what you need or you can write jQuery that adds # to url and operates tabs on page load. Both options require effort.

For your task to be easier, quicktabs would need to manipulate url by adding # when you switch tabs and that was not original idea of this issue, but its similar enough...

Is this still being thought about?

I know this is an old post, but would you mind expanding on how?

panels + drupal local tasks (tabs) method has nothing to do with this issue, but you could set up panels custom pages with path like node/NID/something and have them create menu local tasks (tabs), one default and others if needed. Then use Tab Tamer module to rearrange or rename tabs. This will give you nice clean urls and page reload with new url in each tab. It is experimental method and I dont use it anymore, but it works. It is better to use quicktabs instead - latest versions changes url if no ajax is used.

Thanks for the suggested solution.

I may have to take this path and quicktabs is causing me SEO problems.
