[BUG] Going back returns JSON

Seems browser specific. Can't replicate this in Firefox. Hitting back returns the page correctly.

See my edit. I narrowed it down more

Fine in Firefox for me too.

Maybe you need to be the post author to get it to bug out? It doesn't do it for me using Chrome and clicking on the link in your OP, clicking another link and then clicking back.

Tested in Safari. Cannot reproduce.

But in Chrome I consistently get the same problem on my threads. Other threads do not produce the same bug.

Can confirm it doesn't happen on Firefox either.

From my testing it only happens on Chrome. It's updated to the latest version (it's not in my screenshot, but I've updated since) and it consistently gives me same bug.

Let me know if I can assist debugging this in any way.

I can confirm this is an issue with Chrome. It does not occur with the cache disabled in browser tools.

Can also confirm this happened earlier today on a thread I created and still happens if I follow the steps in the first post.

Yes this is a known bug in Chrome: https://www.google.com/search?q=chrome+json+back+button

I always solved this by appending always ?json or &json to the ajax call. This solves it.

edit found the ticket with a possible solution by appending json or json to all of your axios requests by default: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/on-page-back-i-only-see-json
