Welcome to Simple Machines.

1.) Can you alter the language strings at ./Themes/default/languages in your FTP client.
2.) You can remove this by editing the index.template.php file found in the folder of your theme at ./Themes/ in your FTP client.
3.) You can remove/alter this by editing the BoardIndex.template.php file found in the folder of your theme at ./Themes/ in your FTP client.

Refer to:

Just to confirm, are you using this theme?

There seems to be problems with this theme. If you look in your forum error log, you will see errors showing up. You might want to post in the theme's support topic and ask the author to look into it.

But to answer your question:

1 & 2. Open up /Themes/Efsane_A351k/index.template.php:

Code (Search for) Select Expand

// If the user is logged in, display stuff like their name, new messages, etc.
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo '

<span style="font-size: 130%;">', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' <b>', $context['user']['name'] , '</b></span>';


// Show the total time logged in?
if (!empty($context['user']['total_time_logged_in']))
{
echo '
<font style="padding: 5px 5px 5px 230px;"><b>', $txt['totalTimeLogged1'] , '</b></font>';

// If days is just zero, don't bother to show it.
if ($context['user']['total_time_logged_in']['days'] > 0)
echo $context['user']['total_time_logged_in']['days'] . $txt['totalTimeLogged2'];

// Same with hours - only show it if it's above zero.
if ($context['user']['total_time_logged_in']['hours'] > 0)
echo $context['user']['total_time_logged_in']['hours'] . $txt['totalTimeLogged3'];

// But, let's always show minutes - Time wasted here: 0 minutes ;).
echo $context['user']['total_time_logged_in']['minutes'], $txt['totalTimeLogged4'], '<br />';
}

}

Code (Replace with) Select Expand

// If the user is logged in, display stuff like their name, new messages, etc.
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo '
<span style="font-size: 130%;">Welcome to ', $context['forum_name'], '</b></span>';
}

3. Open up /Themes/Efsane_A351k/BoardIndex.template.php:
