If you check the server console, you can actually see two requests coming in, one triggered by your :remote => true enabled link and other from your custom ajax. Actually you don't need any js to make this work. Just remove that click function from your pagination.js.coffee or remove :remote => true from the link. After all both are doing the same thing. Hope this will help.

So it was a stupid error of course.

Remove the line on index.html.erb:

:remote => true if @links.next_page

So now it looks like this:

<div class="link-wrap">
  <%= render @links %>
</div>
<% if @links.next_page %>
  <div class="link more">
  <%= link_to 'Load More', links_path(:page => @links.next_page), :class => 'next_page' %>
  </div>
<% end %>

All works fine now!
