 * I was wondering if I am the only one to have this bug. I use WordPress 2.8b2 
   and when I activate one plugin from the following list : WP-Cumulus, FLV Embed,
   MyCss, WordPress.com Stats and WP-EasyArchives, the dashboard admin page turns
   to just one box “Right Now / At the Glance” and every others boxes disappear.
   Then, I can’t click in “Screen Options” and “Help” (it doesn’t do anything). 
   If I deactivate the plugin, it turns back to normal.
 * Any idea what could be the problem ?
 * Thanks

 * WP-Cumulus and WordPress.com Stats do not cause this problem for me.
 * Have you tried clearing your browser cache and then activating the plugins one
   by one, to see which, if any, is the culprit?
 * Cheers!

 * Yes, I have tried to activate them one by one and that’s not working (when I 
   click on “screen options”, it doesn’t do anything either).
 * Is there some place where I can flush the wordpress cache ? Maybe the answer 
   is there ? I’ve tried to put the classic theme, but it does the same…
 * Thanks for your help !

 * Well, it’s weird. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It seems however 
   that three plugins break my dashboard page (Platinum SEO Pack, FLV Embed and 
   WordPress.com Stats)…
 * How can I fix this (reset something on wordpress would be a great idea, but I
   can’t find a “reset” button on the admin page :-))

 * **artypop**, FLV Embed and Platinum SEO don’t cause any such issue for me.
 * Here is what I would try next:
 * 1. Check with another browser.
 * 2. Completely delete two directories in the WP installation: a. wp-admin; b. 
   wp-includes, and then reupload them.

 * Well… Nothing changed. I even try to clean the db and delete some wp_options 
   rows, but it remains the same way… I can’t figure out what the problem is, that’s
   lame ! thanks for your help anyway.

 * Again, I made a fresh install to check, same theme, same plugins but a new database
   and it doesn’t worked…
 * I can’t understand. I’ll wait for 2.8…
