Did some investigation. I am in the software development profession but not HTML or web page development. It appears to me to be a web scripting, PHP, issue. I checked 4 build log threads that I follow from VincentJ. The newer ones, post 2017, work and show images but they appear to use HTML code for embedded images while the older threads (pre-2017) use PHP.

THREAD WITH EMBEDDED IMAGES (GOOD!)

Like the previous build thread this image is not using PHP script to display, but HTML instead. The next two thread example below both use PHP to display images and it does not work.

THREAD WITH NO EMBEDDED IMAGES (BAD!)

First image (bad, not showing)

When you click on the image URL in the HTML code (Developer Tools in Chrome browser)
Like you were clicking on an image to show in its own html page this is the resulting URL for that tab in the browser and the image is black. The tab title is "attachment.php (1x1)"

ANOTHER THREAD WITH NO EMBEDDED IMAGES (BAD!)

Like the previous old thread clicking on the image to open a new browser tab does the same thing, blank image.

Here is the HTML code for the first image inside the "Attached Thumbnails" block like before.

(----- END OF THREAD POST HTML -----)

There are four images in this post.

"attachment.php" is a common thing for the threads with no images. The threads with good images do not use that PHP script file.

Not sure if this helps anyone but I sheds some light for me. I can't do anything about it though.
