 * Hi there,
 * I have just installed a new site and everything looks fine in the front end. 
   It works 100% but the dashboard does not have style. The whole content is shown
   lineally one after the other without keeping the style (boxes of the menu in 
   the left hand side have a 100% width and therefore the content that should be

 * Just for the records… Why do you think it was happening something like that and
   what have we done with that line?

 * In order to increase performance, WordPress concatenates javascript on the admin
   side of the site. Some servers, (like yours) can’t handle this, so you’ve just
   turned the concatenation off.

 * Thanks for the help and the explanation.
 * I never faced that before and I have even several sites based in WordPress in
   the same server. The hosting company was speechless.
 * Everyday I learn something new about WordPress. Thanks again
