I'm running into this too. I'm trying to get the current username to display, but not having much luck. I look forward to a bug fix.

I have just come across this issue of displaying Tab Tokens for the first time today, using version 6.02.05. as i was converting a DNN 5.x site which never had a problem displaying Tab Tokens...

In previous versions of DNN you could drop the following code in you skin:
<dnn:TEXT runat="server" id="dnnTEXT" CssClass="MyTitleHeaderText" replaceTokens="True" Text="[Tab:title]" />
And use that to display the page title or whatever...

Unless I am mistaken, It appears that this is STILL an issue in version 6.02.05 ?
I'll try some of the work-a-rounds listed in this post but if someone has a solution they find to work better, please post here.

Right now it looks like the post from codeplex and 40 fingers offers the best solution as a work around:
<%If PortalSettings.ActiveTab.Level > (0) Then Response.Write(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.BreadCrumbs(0).TabName)%>
This too displays the Tab Name in DNN 6.02.05...

However the old way of <dnn:TEXT runat="server" id="dnnTEXT" CssClass="MyTitleHeaderText" replaceTokens="True" Text="[Tab:title]" />
appears not to work version 6.x unless someone has found a way to make the old way of displaying TAB Tokens in skins work?

They change the property 'Text' to 'ShowText' , so if you add
< dnn:TEXT ... ReplaceTokens="true" ShowText="[User:DisplayName]" / > it will work again.

Pffft, Peter
