[wp-forums] concatenate_scripts fix

[Otto]

Setting "concatenate_scripts" to false is not a "fix", nor a
"workaround". It's a debugging tool.

If setting concatenate_scripts to false corrects the issue, then the
user either has the load[] problem (which will be corrected in 3.5.1
and can be corrected in most cases by examing the .htaccess and
removing the offending lines), or they have some other javascript
not-loading problem such as needing to clear out their browser cache
or some such thing.
