First off, this is a little simpler way to go about it.
## views.py
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
def detail(request):
...
return direct_to_template(request, 'results/resultstable.html')
direct_to_template will setup the request context for the templates

Are you logged in? The request context for the user won't show up if
the user isn't logged in.

See above.
If you want to make sure that users are required to login, you should
use login_required (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/
auth/):
## views.py
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
@login_required
def detail(request):
...
return direct_to_template(request, 'results/resultstable.html')
If you want to just display the username, after someone has logged in.
## results/resultstable.html
{% if user %}Hi, {{ user }}{% endif %}
