Apologies for the hark back but I can’t seem to move on from the ‘temporary eye tighteners’. I have some called eye lids but I’m really hoping you didn’t find those hanging about on a street corner.I think I need more information before I can move forward in life.2

I saw a thread prompt on the site somewhere asking for improvements feedback by the mse team a few days ago, and can't find it in any of the likely forum categories. Is anyone able to point me towards it?
