I have signed up with Dropbox. Not sure I want to fill up the box with a
bunch of captures. I know I can set up Argo or Spectrum Lab to overwrite the
image. Only problem I can see with dropbox is there is no auto refresh to
see the latest image that has been uploaded. A person would have to manually
refresh their browser. But its something to try and I can post the link to
this reflector when I have it running.

Jay,
I've recently been using dropbox. Instead of just showing a single
recent grab I've noticed several ops have started uploading complete
overnight captures. The link dropbox gives for showing grabs is a bit
clunky but since most links are clickable that's not much of a problem.
Plus most of us know how to copy and paste a link if needed. However in
order to simplify a grabber link today, with help from google, I think I
have learned how to make a page redirect that needs testing from outside
of my LAN. See if this link shows grabs I started a few hours ago. I
see Pat has just fired up on 137.7752.
