Issue displaying user posts

Hello there,

On my site I have a list of users, each of which can post status
updates on their profile. Each user can search for other users and
view their profiles too.

The odd thing is, if I log in and out of each user and look at their
status, their posts are specific to them (which is what i want)
However...... If I search for a user and click to view their profile,
it seems to display the posts of the logged in user which is what i
dont want.

Below is the show method which is what the profile page uses.
I have tried limiting it to 1 post for a user, and also tried to set
the initial param before the find to try and get around the issue.
Unfortunately these didn''t work..

  def show
    username = params[:username]
    @user = User.find_by_username(username)
  if @user
      @title = "Profile page of: #{username}"
      @info = @user.info ||= Info.new
      @posts = Post.find_by_user_id( session[:user_id], :order =>
"created_at DESC")
        respond_to do |format|
        format.html
      end
  else
      flash[:notice] = "No user #{username} found!"
      redirect_to :action => "index"
    end
  end
Can anyone see why a: It displays the users status updates correctly
when i''m logged in as each user and b: why the posts seem to stay as
per the logged in user when i click on another user''s profile??

Any suggestions, or ways round this appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
