What about setting up the reply sheet that takes down the username that is in the session var, or the cookie. Have a conditional region that basically compares the session var mm_username or the username that is in the cookie to the entry in the db. If it sees a match it displays one image. If it doesn't, it displays the other. Hope this helps.
