How to post a pic from flickr to VK: Go to the album, photostream or gallery the pic you wish to post resides in and click said picture. (Pro tip: this whole process should work for your own account as well as in some other people's accounts.)

Once on the page dedicated to said photo click on the share arrow in the bottom right corner of the black space.

Once the popup box opens:
#1: Click the BB code tab (if there is no blue bar under it) to get the blue bar under it. The blue bar indicates which tab is selected.
#2: click the size bar and menu 3 opens to allow you to select the size you want it to display in here on VK.
#3: pick your size (I've highlited some good choices)
#4: click the BB code bar, the code should turn blue, copy it (using CTRL+C keys or by right-clicking and selecting copy from the menu that appears).
If the pop up opens in the BB code tab at the size you want then you can skip steps #1-3
Now go to videokarma (which you presumably have open in another tab of your web browser so you can quickly switch between VK and flickr tabs to quickly post multiple photos) and paste the BB code in the thread where you want it.
You can even remove a snippet of the end of the BB code to suppress the user accredidation links. (click quote on my post and examine the text comparing the second and third pic to see how I did it) I like to do this when I post a gallery of 320X240 shots...I can arrange the edited BB code pics in a nice neat grid of mid size thumbnails that is still clickable to access the full size pic on flickr.
BTW: you don't have to actually post to check if your photo works. You can click the go advanced link under the reply box on VK write up a post insert the BB code then click preview to see a preview of what it will look like (photos and all)...You can edit it further if you dislike it and re-preview it if you wish, or click submit to post for the world to see. This is a great sandbox to test stuff in without showing the world that your fumbling with making pictures embed in your posts.
You could also go to one of your old posts and click edit and add pics to an old post (just remember VK has a pics per post limit of IIRC 16).
Advanced warning: Since IIRC each account can only hold 2K photos now once I start to run low on space in ~1-3 years I'll delete the photos in this post from my account and they will cease to exist.
