You could set a cookie with the username and read the cookie when the user
goes to the post section. Or, if you don't like cookies, you could put the
username as a hidden field to a form and read that field when you generate
the post page. These are the two easiest ways off the top of my head, but
there are probably better (and/or easier and/or other) ways.
