mIkE 2oo0 - Go in to your preferences and make sure you have it set to remember your username. That should probably solve your problem. Because the way the hack works is it just pulls your cookie info and uses it... so if you don't have it set to remember your username, you won't show up until you post.
Troy - regarding the background image for the online.cgi script... oops. It's looking for it in your CGI directory, so you can either change the code, or just place a copy of your background image in the CGI directory. (I just did a symbolic link).
