WordPress 3.1 added the Admin Bar feature, similar to the one used in WordPress.com websites, which appears on both the website and Dashboard for logged in users (if enabled in your User settings).
I've updated to WP 3.1 and enabled both settings for the admin bar ("when viewing site" and "in dashboard"), as well as clearing all caches (through W3 Total Cache) and my browser cache.
Any ideas on why I'm still not seeing the admin bar? I am using a custom theme, but I don't see how that would affect the Dashboard admin bar.
add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', '__return_false' );
