Issue Summary
When I entered the API key I copied from Flickr.com, an error message displayed falsely claiming the key wasn't valid. Strangely enough, after that, the key I'd entered displayed in the API key text field, and I was still able to enter my username. When I saved again, though, I got the same error message.
After my third time saving, and all times thereafter, I just get this message even though the key shows up in the text field: "You will need a Flickr API key to use this module."
I presume this is why my Flickr block isn't showing up after I activated it.
Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am having the same issue. Is there a certain type of api key I'm suppose to choose (commercial vs non-commercial) and a api app? I currently get an error message Could not connect to Flickr, Error: Connection refused after installing my api key.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff
