+🔧 FIX: IMAGES NOT SHOWING
+========================================
+
+You're seeing broken/missing images. Here's how to fix it:
+
+## STEP 1: Run Diagnostics
+
+Double-click: DIAGNOSE_IMAGE_UPLOAD.bat
+
+This will check:
+✅ Backend running on port 8001?
+✅ Database has avatar_url/image_url columns?
+✅ Files uploaded to correct directory?
+✅ Static files accessible?
+
+## STEP 2: Apply Fixes Based on Results
+
+### If "avatar_url column MISSING":
+```
+Run: APPLY_IMAGE_MIGRATION.bat
+```
+This adds the database columns needed.
+
+### If "Backend NOT responding":
+```
+Run: restart_backend.bat
+```
+Backend must be running on port 8001.
+
+### If columns exist but images still broken:
+```
+1. Stop backend (Ctrl+C)
+2. Run: restart_backend.bat
+3. Refresh browser (Ctrl+Shift+R)
+```
+
+## STEP 3: Test Upload
+
+1. Login to app
+2. Go to Settings
+3. Click "Upload Avatar"
+4. Select an image
+5. Should see image immediately!
+
+## COMMON ISSUES & FIXES:
+
+### Issue: "Mixed content" error in browser
+Fix: Make sure backend is http://localhost:8001
+     Check browser console (F12)
+
+### Issue: "404 Not Found" for /static/uploads
+Fix: Backend needs restart after adding uploads.py
+     Run: restart_backend.bat
+
+### Issue: Image uploads but doesn't show
+Fix: 1. Check database has avatar_url column
+     2. Restart backend
+     3. Clear browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+R)
+
+### Issue: CORS error
+Fix: Backend CORS already configured
+     Just restart backend
+
+## VERIFY IT WORKS:
+
+Test URL in browser:
+http://localhost:8001/static/uploads/users/user_1_6ba276ca.png
+
+Should show image, not 404 error.
+
+If 404: Backend needs restart or migration not run
+If image loads: Frontend just needs browser refresh!
