status-completed (used this fix in V1.2.9)
Some people are experiencing a problem where the auto link does not appear. This has to do with the fact that the DOM elements on which the selector is based are dynamically loaded into the DOM.
The workaround for this is to change line 683 to:
setTimeout(function() {
$('#' + divid).find('.comment-help-link')....

Can we have the auto link appear when completing a custom "off-topic" closure reason?
Bonus points if we can declare certain auto-comments to apply in this scenario (e.g. mirroring the "A" and "Q" prefix for answers and questions). Perhaps "C" for closure reasons?

There are two 'major' changes to V1.2.2
'Remote' comment source
You can now define an external source for your comments, and 'import' them. This means that you don't have to manually copy comments from site to site and PC to PC.
To do this, you click on the 'remote' link; enter the url for your data source; then click on 'get now'.

bug
Clicking on the icon won't reveal the comment-box anymore.
One has to click the "add comment" link, for the comment box to appear, then click on the script icon to add the reply signature into the revealed comment-box.

Ok, not a answer but some visuals how to get it going for dummies like me.
Install Greasemonkey (for Firefox) or Tampermonkey (for Chrome) - I'm using Greasemonkey for this post, but it's the same for Tampermonkey -- you will get a new icon on the top right of your menu bar AFTER restarting Firefox.
Install the Script:

I see a couple of comments here suggesting that Benjol is thinking of making the Welcome message configurable.
This is a formal request for that feature.
On Skeptics.SE, we have a meta-post which is a Welcome to New Users FAQ, and explains some of the ways Skeptics.SE differs from other Stack Exchanges. I ...

Excellent script, much needed. I adjusted the following to make it work:
changed live by $(document).on( 'keydown', 'textarea[name=comment]', function(e) {})
added metakey so it works on Macs (e.ctrlKey||e.metaKey)
And other improvements:
only runs when viewing a question or in the Review/Task pages.
changed @include by @match using a format that catches ...

I forked the script to create some quick-insert buttons.
Given how often I make use of this, I wanted to save the extra click.

Confirmed the bug on a post that accrues comments much slower than a typical Stack Overflow question does.
Currently, the OP's filter returns "comment_count": 1 on that post. There are no comments.
I believe this is a side-effect/bug/quirk with how the API appears to be counting the comments. ¿Perhaps it is counting Ids in the comment table and not ...

Can you also add the auto link on the flag review page of 10k+ users? Especially when going through the "not an answer" flags there are tons of "thanks" and "question instead of answer" posts.
Update: To get it working, there are only minor changes needed:
Enable the script for /tools* on the various sites
Add .mod-post-header to the ...

I created another version of the script modifying:
Shift + Enter submits the comment.
Changed @includes for @matches using another domain pattern.
Used another script injection technique.
Tried to solve instances where the script would produce an error wrapping the block where the error occurs within a try{} catch(){}. Then I discovered that adding a ...

When you post a link in inline code, like
The URL `http://electronics.stackexchange.com/q/33477`
the link is rendered as
The URL `[What is the SoC on the ARM9 board TS-7800?](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/q/33477 )`
What should happen is that any URL in inline code should be ignored.
Additionally, links like [http://...

Links to StackExchange sites' meta posts don't seem to work. When I first hit Enter/click "Add Comment", the page doesn't do anything at all. The second hit forces a page reload, which is unexpected behavior.
I'll post a comment below with these meta posts:

See "How do comment @replies work?" and "@Peter works for Péter Török?".
Comment replies will often work with unicode. EG: Péter Török can be reached by both @Peter and @Péter.
These are the documented rules (Not checked against latest source) for converting user display_name to comment-reply @names:
Remove any spaces.
Single quotes, dots, dashes and ...

I've made a userscript to do this.
Get it at Github.
It will add a button next to comments that belong to you after you have posted them (so not as you're writing). Clicking it will produce a prompt asking you for the number of days in which to delete the comment.
Eg. entering 2 will delete it in exactly 2 days.
It checks every o'clock for times that ...

Feature request: Moderator accounts can self-destruct any comment
As a mod (on a smaller Stack) it's sometimes useful to let comments be right now, but you know they should be cleaned up soon. But you also know you're not going to be back here tomorrow, so you have to instead decide between no cleanup or instant cleanup. Being able to schedule others’ ...

This appears to be closely related to the bug: Why is comment_count=1 (incorrectly) when this particular filter is used?.
The workaround from there -- altering the filter by:
selecting comment.comment_id
and selecting question.comments
appears to work in this case too.
(Although, in at least one instance, it seemed to need question_id as well. But this ...

I've made a couple of fixes to make this work again. While I don't fork and ask for a merge, here it is a copy of my script for convenience, the modifications are indicated with comments. The matches of sites has been revised as well.

// @namespace stackapps

Very nice comments thread. Could it be made to display threads 1 deep (like Stack Apps basically does), and maintain the chronological order of the original comments?
For example (imagine dates where appropriate):

It would be nice to have a place other than in these answers for us to share setups. Could you provide one and link it to the main post?
I thought about posting another question to deal with this, but wasn't sure if it belonged in stackapps or meta.stackapps.

I seem to have the perfect storm of a UI at the moment:
As a ♦ mod on a site, the combination of the new Beta theme, mod links and the very handy utility links results in a bit of a UI mess in Firefox and Chrome for me when a question's been edited:

I can see that if a question is ownedByMe, you move these links onto a new line - ...

Update: As of api-v2.2, it's also possible to write questions and answers via the API.
There are at least a few examples in use, of API 2.1 apps, that write comments. See:
The Quick Media Solutions app
The StackX Android app
The SX.el Emacs app

Am I correct in thinking that only comments can be written and not questions?
Yes, that's correct. ...
