The username field needs to be on a public and published tab. The field it self also needs to be set to show on profile. You can move it to a tab in a not shown on profile position though if you don't want it visible. Standard substitution access checks apply here.

must the tab real public? I have profil access only for registered users. And here the tab is viewable for all if you login.
The username is also show on profil.
The tab it is on must be public and published if you want the substitution to apply to everyone in all situations. If it's set to registered only then for public users the username will return as empty. Again, normal substitution access checks apply. Place the substitution in a delimiter field and test its output before attempting to use it, this should always be step 1 when using substitutions to ensure you're getting the display you expect.

1. I made a delimiter-field called "Test" with "[cb:userfield field="username" user="#me" /]":
=> It shows on every Profile my username as it should
2. I made a tab as shown on the image on my post before. First I insert in "To" my name "Roland" and the tab is shown correctly only on my profile. After that I changed "Roland" to "[cb:userfield field="username" user="#me" /]" but now the tab isn't shown anymore...
Chance to have a look on my site? It would also be okay as a paid working hour...
