Thanks for all the help. The solution to this appeared by accident last 
night. When viewing the site from a neighbor's computer, I got a 403 
error when trying to enlarge an image. It turned out that either the 
directory or the image files themselves did not have the necessary 
permissions to be viewed. That has since been adjusted.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
