Criticism
Although Arena ran well, there were inconsistent reports about the speed of Arena.
The biggest problems were that Arena couldn't handle forms, and that the PNG support was broken from version 0.3.07 on. Earlier Arena releases had full alpha-channel support, but only with using Arena's own "sandy" background pattern. The animated GIFs extension - presented by Netscape in March 1996 - didn't work properly.
Other problems included rendering problems with tables, and the lack of integration of so-called extended HTML code, i.e. the BG COLOR-tag and the DIV ALIGN-tag.
Earlier versions of Arena (until 0.3.26 (01.06.97)) didn't support the email MIME.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
