I've installed the Flickr module, plugged in the API key information and supplied a default user, enabled the flickr_field and added a flickr_field to a content type.
Then I edit an example of that content type, insert what I think is the picture ID into the flickr field
Result: nothing is displayed.
To verify that this was not an issue with my templates, I enabled the Content Templates template for that content type and made sure that the flickr field was included in the output.
So, two questions:
First, where should I be getting the picture ID from Flickr? What I used is the numeric component of the photo URL. (e.g., "/4046635668") Is there some other value I should be entering here, and if so, where do I get it from?
Second, if I'm supplying the right value, is there something additional that I need to do to ensure that Flickr module will pull the image?
Troubleshooting steps I've taken so far:
I've enabled one of the random display blocks and it shows images from our Flickr account, as expected.
Repeatedly run cron, as the presence of a cron setting in the Flickr module config page led me to believe that I might need to do that.

Additional information & changing issue title:
I changed the Display setting for my flickr field to 'thumbnail' from 'square'.
Several curious things happened:
* When I changed the setting for the Teaser, the setting for the Body appeared to get changed without my specifying as such.
* The version displayed in the CCK block remained the 'square' version.
* If I changed the Display value back to 'square', the image continued to display, but in 'teaser' form. (The CCK block version stayed square.)
Will continue to work at this, but given this instability will probably have to resort to creating a text field and pasting the Flickr embed code in it, bypassing Flickr module altogether.

After changing the Display again, display seems to be normal now. So not sure if the problem with display settings being honored is real. But there was definitely a problem before I changed the settings for the first time.
I apologize, but I won't have the time to do a more detailed test on that (by re-installing from scratch) for several weeks.
