For quite some time now, viewing the content of posts hidden by the community has required two clicks.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Open any topic with a hidden posts.
2. Click View hidden post.
3. Wait a second or two.
4. Click View hidden post again.
**Expected results:**
After step 2️⃣, a spinner appears and the post is shown after a short delay.
**Actual results:**
Nothing appears to happen after step 2️⃣. Step 4️⃣ immediately reveals the content.

Bonus question: What’s up with [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/anyone-familiar-with-userengage/72408/4) post? It was hidden when I started writing this post, and @Muiran edited it. Now, it has an edit icon ✏, but opening the revision history tries to load the URL `https://meta.discourse.org/posts/341011/revisions/latest.json?_=1508481978037` which `404`s, leaving the history empty.
