Dynamic Lighting goes dark after player token moves

I was setting up dynamic lighting for the first time, and everything was going well.  But then, when I moved the token, everything went dark.  I can redo the lights, move them to different layers, etc.  It always fixes it until the token moves again. I've logged in under a dummy account, and it happens then too.  I move the token into a spot with a light, but everything goes dark when the token is dropped.  I've tried changing my hardware accelerator (which made the site almost unusable since everything was soooo slow), I've tried changing if the character can see while the token is being moved, and I've tried changing the layers that the light source is on (including putting the object in the token layer and then a light source in the lighting layer).  Nothing seems to work, and the feedback page's suggestions are outdated (most of them aren't applicable as they give suggestions for features that no longer exist).  I've made sure that the token has vision enabled too.  I've spent the past 3 hours trying to figure it out.  There is so much in the forums, but I'm not finding anything relevant yet.  I'm pulling my hair out with this. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Have you confirmed this issue persists in both Chrome and Firefox?  Are you using any browser addons? -Adam

Is that the only token this happens with?
I only use chrome and haven't tried it on firefox or ie yet.  It's happened with any token I use. I think I figured it out.  I had to put the token in before the lighting was put on.  I'm not sure why but it seems to work so long as I don't add tokens for my players after the lighting is done
