 * The Appearance menu is completely missing from Network Admin. How do I add new
   child themes without it? Or how can I make the Appearance menu come back?
 * WP 3.5.1

 * Hi there,
 * It perhaps a little confusing, but there isn’t an Appearance menu in the Network
   Admin. To upload themes, you look under Themes > Add New. Unlike plugins, which
   has the same label in both, the section is called Themes for network admin and
   Appearance for site admins. I think, though, the best way to upload child themes
   is via ftp. Once uploaded, you can make tweaks using the theme editor in the 
   network admin.

 * Thanks for the feedback Pali,
 * Turns out it was a collision between a plugin and the Network Admin menu system.
   It was hiding the Themes menu item. Switched it off and pop. Menu is back.
