Why does this forum have so much difficulty processing emoji? 🤔
More often then not it throws an error, or fails to display the Unicode characters.
One error says "You’ve reached this page due to an error on paizo.com. The web team has been notified and are working to fix the issue." Another, much rarer error, says {"message":"Missing Authentication Token"}. It's been over a year and nothing seems to have changed!
Can someone please fix it so that it works reliably? Emoji are an important aspect of modern communication.

I'd rather have a functioning store and some other features before being able to see people spam the poop emoji.
What's wrong with the store? I've been using it for ten years without issue.

Where do I start? From not being able to cancel subscriptions via the website, through not accepting PayPal, across all the issues with the contents of the cart vanishing, the store dropping you at an error page throughout the process and forcing you to start from square one to the fact that the store, the forums, PFS and god knows else is a single system running on a hopelessly outdated and no longer actively supported framework and one of them getting borked takes down everything else.
The fact that you've never had a problem with the store does nothing about the fact that my experience and the experience of quite a lot of people posting about these issues in the CustServ forum has been the exact opposite. Given how easy to use and non-problematic is e-commerce these days, Paizo's store is a relic of early XXI century that lives on only because replacing it is likely something Paizo can't afford.

Guess I'm just more accustomed to those old relic days than I am to the newfangled watchamacallit services you young wippersnappers have been so spoiled by. Back in my day, we had to walk to the store to get our books, rain or shine, then heft them heavy tomes all the way up a hill to get them home, and to every game thereafter! Worked hard for, and rightfully earned, our fun! Kids these days gotta' complain about how others bring things to them. Makes no sense! You youngsters don't know just how good you've got it. /tongue-in-cheek

PayPal is not a new or fancy thing -- I've been using it for nearly twenty years, but the concerns that Vic noted in the above link are things that have burnt me on *other* things where there was a breakdown in the money shuffle.
Also, Brian, your message appears blank, is that a test of some sort?
