The errata is going to need its own tab on the site, within the community tab, and it needs to be more presentable, just like the first errata was, rather than just block blog posts. It allows for people to cleanly print off a copy if they only use print to update their rulesets, or collect PDFS, like they already are.

The full errata for the 4th Printing can be found on the FAQ page, which is on its own tab on the site. Go to the top, under Pathfinder > FAQ. Then on the page, select whichever errata you wish to look at based on book and printing.

This blog post even links to the FAQ page so you can see all of the details people are talking about.

1. Burying something you want the community to access more often, at the bottom of a menu tab, is not good menu design nor is it nice to us because it is miss labeled when we are looking for something called an errata, and it's in a tab called the FAQ, which right now doesn't function as written it functions as the errata, so you might as well call it that.

2. Not everyone is going to use it as is. It does not take that much time, or effort to put it into a clean and simple PDF format for people to store for themselves or print out to keep with their own collection.

1. I agree with your point about mislabeling and Paizo's website being overall a mess of UI design. The FAQ page is now (finally) including both errata and clarifications, so I would rename the tab as "FAQ/Errata".

As to the order of tabs, that's a little less clear. Anything they're wanting to sell to people will want to take priority over non-sales, so every tab aside from Organized Play would take higher priority over the FAQ tab. Putting it in Community might work, but that'd also mean moving the Starfinder FAQ page there, whereas the way...

Since each different printing needs it's own different pdf, it would probably not work to just keep updating one pdf.

No, it's not hard to format block posts like you have been, and then just export them as a pdf. The work is either making them look nice with color,(nice but not nessisary) andany other flair like bookendings spaces and other stuff you have standardized into your book formats.
It doesn't have to look perfect it just has to be printable potentially and storeable with our collection. And if your going to go through the effort of updating your rules go through the effort of giving it to us, don't rely on the community to do it for you.

All, the reprint of this title should be arriving in our warehouses late October and should be back into retail and Amazon around mid-to-late November.

Can this be put into the store page so when you look at it you have an expectation that the backorder is not endless?

First I love this class.
But I have criticisms on it.
1. Syntax of the play test is terrible. it does not provide enough information when needed and leaves too much room for misinterpretation.
We are in need of clear and concise instructions during the combat phase. We need to know more limits on the abilities, like how many times per day, or does this apply to this, etc.
2. Burn, i hate to say this, but i have a professor that likes pathfinder. He is an English professor. He thought a 2 year old could do better that this, and i have to agree, without all the exaggeration.
3. There need to be tables for damage and elemental combinations. Bring in more tables it will help clarify. Or a chart like Aristotle circle of elements.
4.Geo instead of Terra, full BAB, 4+ int modifier for skill scaling, otherwise this class has no role-playing ability what so ever out of combat.1D10 hit die, 1D8 is way to small and can make the class unplayable for higher levels.
5. Do the blasts need a source? like needing a stream nearby to do anything as a Hydro-kinticist? This class can potentially shape the battlefield so some of the spells like an earth wall for example need to be permanent or until destroyed.
6. name changes
strain instead of burn
kinetic/psyche/continuity talent instead of wild talent.
augment instead of infusion
