I had q2a 1.4 integrated with Wordpress, In my case, "unexpected response from server' shows everytime i voted, after click OK. the vote goes through.
I tried to do clean install new version 1.5 (but still using the existing database) and it didn't do anything to the notice "unexpected...".
I then took another step on the version 1.5 (I'm not sure whether what i did was right), I edited the qa-page.js in qa-content folder and removed the last 5 lines:
function qa_ajax_error()
{
alert('Unexpected response from server - please try again or switch off Javascript.');
}
The error message window did not pop up, and the voting goes through.
