You should be able to measure the current that way.
Did you also insert the red lead into the mA connector of your meter?
If it still does not work, perhaps you have a blown fuse inside your meter.
Of cource, measuring the voltage across the resistor and doing the math
works also, and is often more practical too.

I then wired my multimeter in series between the resistor and the
nixie to measure the current, but my nixie now refuses to light (I set
the measurement dial to ma etc).

Am I doing something wrong, or is my multimeter interfering with the
circuit?
