However I often don't know how that thing was accomplished . Plugin? CSS? Fancy/Magic Code?

So I decided I will ask a million and one questions just like a Two Year old.

1) The username in a customised colors

2)The personalised greeting in the signature

3) The ticker scrolling banner at the top of the forums

4) The Last Post Ticker Box

5) the vertical recent activities timeline
