getting JSON error while using Lemmy.ml - eviltoast

so I signed in today, and I am getting a JSON error on my screen. It says unexpected character Line 1 column 1 in JSON. Thought I should point this out so that it can be looked into, I am also going to dl the source code to see if I can find where/what this error is referring to. This was not an issue in the previous version of Lemmy it just started after the upgrade to Lemmy 0.18
