Images not working?
The portraits are showing fine, but all the IMG tags that I have put in my game are not.  The images themselves are hosted on my own domain.  I've checked by going directly there and they are clearly available.  I looked at the code you generate and, other than the lightbox wrapper, the img tag inside it looks correct.  But these were working until recently.  What changed?

It might help to provide links to said images.

As far as I'm aware, nothing changed at RPoL's end.  Looking at your game, the images seem to be working fine, including the map in the post where you tell your players that images aren't working.  :)

Browser cache or DNS issue? IE your dns is (or was) not finding the address for your image server, and the browser is showing the failed image from cache.

Just to followup, it seems to be a browser issue, because my site, on which I host the images I was trying to show, is just http, not https, so chrome was hesitant to load them.  In a new browser window I tried going to my site using https, which redirected to the http version, which caused Chrome to pop up an UNSAFE! warning.  Once I told it that the site was ok to trust, then it started showing the images here, as well.

You should definitely invest in changing your server over to https. You can do it for free via letsencrypt.org using certbot (https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/). The standard is going towards forcing everything to be https, and you don't want your users to be forced to choose insecure options.
