Hi all
Have an on premise SP2013 enterprise farm and everything was fine. at some point in the last week or so (not sure when) the suite bar with newsfeed, sites etc has disappeared!
I have deleted and re-created the user profile service and set up My Sites correctly. As I know the url I can get to About Me and newsfeeds via url but the link bar just doesn't show up on any web application or site collection. I don't run the ups synch service as we use AD imports not sharepoint. I have tried everything and have no idea why it has disappeared and nothing in event logs on CA server is helpful.
any ideas as Im at a loss? the only thing that has changed on the server is install of a few solutions and web parts and I have gone through and deactivated them just in case it was them, but that would be bizarre and it didn't fix it anyway
thanks for any advice
