If I send it in a PM, no one else will benefit from the explanation, so I'll do it here.
(Riverkilt, if you are reading this thread, skip to the next post. I don't want you getting dizzy on me. )
The Flickr image display is a pain in the neck.
If I visit the link you provided, I am at this URL - http://www.flickr.com/photos/7974183@N06/496458200/
However, when the forum software sees a URL wrapped in IMG tags, it needs to see what file type the image actually is. And you will see there is absolutely no file extension on that URL.
So, you need to visit that link, right-click the image, select Properties, highlight the Location URL in the Element Properties box and then copy that across to the forum. The location URL for that image is (Do a mouse rollover to see the entire URL, as the forum software is truncating the URL) - http://farm1.static.flickr.com/204/4...f6416c.jpg?v=0
Hold on, because we're not quite through with this URL. See that last bit, tacked onto the end of the file extension? The ?v=0 business? That has to go, so the URL will look like this - http://farm1.static.flickr.com/204/4...6aacf6416c.jpg
Now THAT is a location URL the forum software will recognize.
Have you ever given any thought to Photobucket? They are much more user-friendly.
