ambiant lighting is removing my dm ability to see the entire map

I run two campaigns, one good and one evil. The good campaign is behaving, well... Good, lol. The evil campaign however, whenever I turn on fog of war, or I use the ambiant lighting features, I can only see what the players can see. For example, I place a camp fire in the middle of a 100x100 map, give it lighting of 50 feet and allow all players to see the light. I can see the radiating circle all the way around the fire just as the players can, but nothing else. I also set each individual character to give off light to represent their dark vision, and if they move around I can see what they can see, but nothing else. I have rejoined as a player then rejoined as dm in settings to try and reset it, all that does is effect whether or not I have the dm controls. I have given myself a token with 99999 by 99999 vision, given my name control of it and still can not see outside of what the other players can see. Can someone help me with this?

Check your page settings, specifically with attention to the GM Opacity, if it is all the way to the top (as below) you'll only ever see what tokens which 'has sight' can see... the next thing to check is that your tokens actually have sight, especially your super sighted one.
The Aaron, thank you for your suggestion, I did not have an opportunity to get back and let you know I resolved the issue. Ziechael, that was the problem completely, the GM Opacity. I found it by chance after posting this and trying Aarons suggestions and now have everythign working great. THANKS
