Do you really need to show the message for the remainder of the
session? Or just when the page loads
right after the user has successfully subscribed? in this case you
could just delete the value after being "used":
if request.session.get('signed_up', True):
form.thanks = True
# delete 'signed_up' from session
I'm not sure this meets your needs, but it's a suggestion :)
