Well I just tried that and that doesn't work either. Still just get a big black box. It must be a problem with Flickr.Well, that is odd, can you post the link to the images?

Try unchecking "Automatically embed media"?Please accept this as my entry into the “Getting Fed in the Med!” Throwdown.
For this throwdown I considered that my wife and I go to a local Palestinian Restaurant plus my neighbor is Lebanese. Because of this I wanted to recreate some of the food I’ve enjoyed from that region. I searched the web for some recipes that sounded and looked close to what I’ve had and came up with the three listed below. (Web link included for more information) The first is a Beef Shawarma flat bread sammy.
Ingredients
Meat
2 lb. Tri-Tip.
Marinade Ingredients
5 cloves of garlic
½ cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ cup of apple cider vinegar
¼ cup of olive oil
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon caraway (ground fennel)
½ teaspoon cardamon
½ teaspoon of oregano or thyme
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon crushed peppercorn
¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Tahini Sauce Ingredients
2 teaspoons of Tahini paste
1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
3 gloves of garlic, crushed
a dash of Salt
Sandwich Ingredients
Pita bread
Grilled tomatoes
Sliced Cucumber
Sliced Red Onion
Sliced Red Bell Pepper
Lebanese Pickles
Most of the ingredients assembled:
Prepped a Tri-Tip.
Cut along where the grain changes direction.
And now sliced length wise for better marinate penetration.
Now in a Ziploc with the marinate and into the fridge overnight.
Instructions
Shawarma MarinadePreparing the Tahini Sauce
- Mix the spices along with the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar in a blender for a couple of minutes. Don’t mix in the olive oil yet.
- Cut the beef into chunks of 4 inches long by no more than ⅔ inch in thickness.
- In a bowl, rub the meat with the marinade, sprinkle a bit of olive oil then rub again, cover and let marinate overnight in the fridge.

Thanks for looking.
Thanks Ron but I was already copying the "Grab the HTML/BBCode". I'm trying the delete everything but the IMG tags below.In you original post the pictures that show as black boxes are posted using URL tags instead of IMG tags.
On Flickr, you should select "Grab the HTML/BBCode" for the pictures, make sure that BBCode is selected at the bottom, and then copy that info and paste it here.
The default Flickr BBCode includes a link to the picture. I don't like that so I delete everything but the IMG tags, but that's not necessary. Photobucket or Tinypic are easier.
Woo-Whooo! It worked!
Well K-wrap but that's wierd as I copied and pasted the entire code which should've included the IMG tags in addition to the URL tags. Does the site software automatically strip them out and why did it do it on some but not the others?Yeah. This time you left the IMG tags. The black ones above just have the URL tags, no IMG tags.
