Have any of you noticed that when you're looking for a bike photo in Google Photos that an alarmingly high percentage off them link to OZVMX Forum? Just a little something I've noticed. 8)

Very cool. Of course I have no idea what Google Photos are, but it's cool just the same!   ;D

Firko, thats because Google reads your cookies and recently visited sites. The result of your Google-search is prepared only for you.

Try another search engine like "Startpage" or "DuckDuckGo". They respect your privacy.

Oh yeah...that makes perfect sense. The annoying thing with the way Google Images searches using information my cookies provide is that many of the VMX photos are shots I actually submitted on OZVMX and other sites. I've already got those photos of course so I want new shots. I've tried DuckDuckGo in the past and found it a bit ordinary and it doesn't appear to have an Image section. I will check our Startpage in a minute, after I post this.
