<td>{{ post.post_user.user_name }}</td> Should be the winner.

What is outputted for each of those options?

Try using the |pprint filter to see what is going on:

{{ post|pprint }}
{{ post.post_user|pprint }}

{{ post|pprint }}
{{ post.post_user|pprint }}
{{ post.post_user.user_name|pprint }}
{{ post|pprint }}

<post: post object> <user: user object> '1' <post: post object>

that's my views

try:
            post_list = post.objects.select_related().filter(post_thread_id = thread_obj.id).order_by('-post_date')
        except:
            post_list = False                
        c = {
            'thread': thread_obj,
            'post_list': post_list,
            'user_login' : user_login,
            'user_name' : user_name, // user name which is login
            }
        c.update(csrf(request))  
        return render_to_response("show_thread.html", c)

{{ post.post_user.user_name }} is correct.
