Although Bohr's atom is null and void, do electrons occupie shell
AREAS (cloud areas) inside the atom?

Sorta. They're distributions.

Does an electron still shed or absorb photons inside an atom...if so
then does it change quantum shell numbers??

Yes.

Ok so the "SHELL" wording still exist but instead it's more of a
cloudish location then a precise orbital.

An orbital IS a cloud. An orbital is not what you apparently think it
means -- it is not a circle of fixed radius.

Do they still use the word "shell"

Sometimes, out of historical habit, but it is falling out of disfavor
because it is misleading -- and it obviously confuses novices. One
should be *very careful* in physics about leaping to a mental image
based on a word.

For example look at the 3d orbitals here:http://winter.group.shef.ac.uk/orbitron/AOs/3d/index.html
Nothing like shells really.
The n=3 "shell" includes 3s, 3p, and 3d orbitals and the only thing
that is really reminiscent of a shell in the sense you're thinking of
is the 3s orbital.

And a 3s or 3p orbital is a higher quantum state than a 2s and 2p
oribtal...?

And electrons still absorb photons when they increase orbitals (2s or
2p to 3s or 3p)? And emit photons when they do the reverse?
