Where is the user bar at the top?

It’s still there for me, have you tried deactivating all your plugins & switching to a default theme to explore whether any could be responsible?

Yours is a different color (and font!) than mine… Are you using any plugins to control it?

@ipstenu WordPress 3.8 has a new admin and you can choose different themes for it, so no

@andrew I figured it out, it was Adminimize – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/adminimize/ I deactivated it, then re-activated. That was strange.
