Dynamic Lighting?

I was trying to use dynamic lighting for a map recently, but it didn't work.  Everything looked good on my end; tokens were emitting bright areas which appeared to be respecting the polygons I drew on the dynamic lighting layer, but when the players got onto the map everything was just blackness for them.  At first we thought that it was a loading issue, but when I turned dynamic lighting off and went to the regular fog of war they could see the revealed areas fine. The players were using Chrome on Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops; I use Chrome on Windows 8.  I'm a supporter but they're not.  Dynamic Lightning was set to on, with "Only update on drop" selected.  I tried dragging & dropping some tokens but that didn't help the situation for them.
Whoops, found the answer elsewhere... I need to have dynamic lighting on AND reveal the area with the reveal tool.

That would imply that you have the Fog of War on as well as Dynamic Lighting. You can certainly use both, but as a FYI, FoW doesn't have to toggled on for Dynamic Lighting to work.
Thanks!  I don't remember turning on Fog of War, but it does seem to have been the culprit.
