New Comment:
I can verify that voting on comments has not worked for me on any page on any
mirror I can think of for quite some time. I thought this was just a known bug
at the moment. The response from the vote is always:
{"success":false,"msg":"The server did not respond properly. Please try
again later..."}
I use Google Chrome on Debian Linux as well as on Mac OS X 10.8.3; it does not
work on either of the OS I use.

When you place the vote the result is returned from a central server where all
the votes are stored. However, the mirrors retain a local copy of the note data
on each server, which is not updated in real time. It gets synced hourly so
refreshing the page may not reflect the most current information.

OK, I was able to enter my votes from here at home (when I tried it from my
office I never got to the challenge response page). I'm curious why voting
doesn't seem to have any effect on the numbers next to the vote buttons, though
...

Alright, there doesn't appear to be anything on this side that would have
caused
the error. There are some javascript bugs (in strict mode you get an origin
error
because of the way the mirrors are setup), but unless the problem persists this
should only be a one off issue for most people.
Feel free to reopen the bug if the issue crops up again.

I'm not sure how to identify what mirror I was on - I copied the URL from
Firefox's address bar into the bug report and thought that would identify the
page adequately. I did see something in the lower right corner of the page
saying "This mirror generously provided by Yahoo" if that helps...
I was connected to the site from my office at MIT when I observed the problem.
I won't be back there until Monday morning.
I tried to vote today, I did not vote on May 14.

Can you tell me which mirror you were using when this error occurred. The link
http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php should redirect you to one
of
the local mirrors like us1.php.net or ca1.php.net or just the www.php.net. I
can
tell you that there is no obvious cause for why this error would have occurred
today. Voting does not require that you sign in to any system, but there are
certain
restrictions on voting based on IP, mirrors, and number of incoming votes.
I can see that on 2013-05-14 around the same time two votes were indeed placed
on
those two user contributed notes originating from the same IP address and
mirror.
They were both counted. Did you place the vote today or on the 14th?
