You can click "remote" and then paste this in: >https://raw.github.com/askubuntu/ProFormaComments/master/comments.jsonp However, if you're old school, or just don't like the idea of someone controlling what comments you have access to... you can do the following: ##Old method: After you install pro-forma-comments you can click "Import" and paste these in to have them handy: `###[A]Answers just to say Thanks!` `Please don't add "thanks" as answers. Invest some time in the site and you will gain sufficient [privileges](http://askubuntu.com/privileges) to upvote answers you like, which is the Ask Ubuntu way of saying thank you.` `###[Q]Nothing but a URL (and isn't spam)` `Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, [it would be preferable](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/8259) to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.` `###[Q]Really a bug` `This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and [as such](http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/1317/what-to-do-with-questions-that-describe-known-bugs/) is off-topic, thanks! [Instructions on filing a bug report are here](http://askubuntu.com/questions/5121/how-do-i-report-a-bug).` `###[Q]EOL Release Question` `New questions about [end-of-life](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases#End_of_Life_.28EOL.29) Ubuntu releases are considered off-topic as per [the FAQ](http://$SITEURL$/faq). These old releases are unsupported and their use is not recommended. They don't even get updates for newly discovered security vulnerabilities, which makes using them risky. If you install or upgrade to [a supported release](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases#Stable) and this question still applies, please flag and/or comment to request it be reopened.` `###[Q]Hardware` `We need more hardware information to help you. Please look at [this question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/14008/i-have-a-hardware-detection-problem-what-logs-do-i-need-to-look-into) and then edit your question adding the information.` `###[A]OP adding a new question as an answer` `If you have another question, please ask it by clicking the [Ask Question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/ask) button.` `###[A]Another user adding a 'Me too!'` `If you have a NEW question, please ask it by clicking the [Ask Question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/ask) button. If you have sufficient reputation, [you may upvote](http://askubuntu.com/privileges/vote-up) the question. Alternatively, "star" it as a favorite and you will be notified of any new answers.` `###[Q]Abandonment!` `This question appears to be abandoned and unanswered. Could you perhaps add more detail to your question? If this question no longer applies then you can either delete it or answer it yourself if you've solved the problem. Thanks!` `###[Q]Boot issues` `It looks like this could be a boot issue. Please [look at this question](http://askubuntu.com/questions/90045/how-do-i-investigate-boot-and-partition-issues) to get the information we need and then edit it into your question. Thanks!` `###[Q]Forums` `Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Questions like this that are open ended should be posted in the [Ubuntu Forums](http://ubuntuforums.org). Please see the [FAQ](http://askubuntu.com/faq) for what is on-topic here, thanks!` `###Half answer in a comment` `Please include an answer with instructions on how to do that? [Leaving a half-answer as a comment](http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/2281/please-stop-posting-half-answers-and-dumb-advice-as-comments) can often cause more harm than good. Thanks.` `###[Q]More than one question asked` `It is better to post separate questions instead of combining your questions into one. That way, it helps the people answering your question and also others hunting for at least one of your questions. Thanks!` `###[Q]Off-topic` `Hi and welcome to Ask Ubuntu. The question you have posted is not within the scope of questions discussed here. Please refer to the [FAQ](http://askubuntu.com/faq) to see what kind of questions you can ask here. Regards.` `###[Q]Not a real question` `It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. Take a look at [What kind of questions should I not ask here?](http://askubuntu.com/faq#dontask)` `###Merge accounts` `Please use the contact us link at the bottom of this page to ask for your unregistered account and your new registered account to be merged.
