What's happening to my routes in Laravel 5?

I've done a few blade directives to have in my masterpage, but the @abouturl() directive seems weird. When I go to http://localhost:8080/laravel_blog/w/about/# it just redirects to http://localhost:8080/about/.

But when I open a new browser (IE) and go directly to http://localhost:8080/laravel_blog/w/about/ the route works, but when I click the about link it goes straight to the server root url + '/about' again, and then I can't access the about page again in the new browser. Seems weird?
