Hi y’all! I’m still pretty new on TER and still learning how to use this website. How do I post a photo under the photo discussion board, and what websites do y’all use?

You're not the only one asking. It's an FAQ. Start with this link (from a post a few threads down) in the "I need some direction" thread:
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/newbie---faq-33/how-to-post-pics-is-an-faq-171207
.
Try a few things by posting (replying) here to see if you've got it.

As far as websites go, several are mentioned in the above linked-linked threads. But ...
imagecoast.com
i.ibb.co (MANY photos on the Photo Only Board are from i.ibb.co)
postimg.cc
imgur.com
and maybe some others.  
.
DO NOT TRY TO POST PICS STORED ON YOUR PERSONAL COMPUTER OR PHONE.
.
Or, one can post an image or pic found on some other "public" site such as I am doing, below. Since you are emkay, I am pasting this link: https://www.logolynx.com/images/logolynx/c7/c75064e5186082a004e9b7f3e68acfc0.jpeg  
into the "Picture URL" box and then hitting the "Post Message" button.
.
More Qs or problems? Post 'em if you got 'em.

See I’ve done that before but got a message from Admin saying that my post is not following guidelines?? Idk if I’m doin it wrong or if I really am that slow 😂😂😂

Aha! "How to post a pic?" is different from "What are the posting rules or policies or guidelines?"  
.
For Photo Only Board: http://www.theeroticreview.com/info_policies/boardPolicies.asp  
and scroll down to "Photo Only."  E.g., NO TEXT other than the subject line with Name and Cities. And more stuff like that.  
.
For Regional Ad Boards, scroll down to "Ads & iso posts."  
.
General and other boards: No pics allowed!

And you still have to figure out how to store your photos on a hosting site and then link them to your post.

... try here on the Newbie board.

I saw your post to Photo Only  
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion-boards/-photo-only-114/emkay-minneapolis--96365
but the photo presents as a big blue box with "Image not found."
.
Does anybody else see her actual photo?

You can describe here (this thread) what you did / didn't do and maybe we can figure out what the problem is and solve it.

First thought: you have to leave the photo(s) on the ibb server. You can't just upload it for a few minutes, copy the link, and then delete the photo from ibb.co . You can't move it around on ibb, either. That is, if you post the link to Photo Only but go back to ibb and put the photo in a new folder or change the URL, it will still produce a "image not found" error.
Original path: ibb.co/pathway1/folder1/photo1.jpg
posted to Photo Only
Move the photo1 file someplace else: ibb.co/pathway1/folder2/photo1.jpg
.
Now, when a TER viewer opens your post, it is looking in folder1 but photo1.jpg is no longer there so we get and error like this:
