"Explored Areas" Map Reveal disabled for players w/o Subscription

Hey Folks, I'm relatively to new to Roll20.net and I'm trying to work through dynamic lighting.  It looks to me like I've encountered a bug related to subscriptions, but let's see. Here are my map settings:   3 Tokens all with identical vision settings: Only other difference between the three tokens is ownership. Token 1:  Owned by me the GM.  Has Plus Subscription Token 2:  Owned by Player A.  Has Plus Subscription Token 3:  Owned by Player B.  Free Account. I'm finding that for Tokens 1 & 2 when the move into and out of an area it remains on the map as an opaque "explored area".  I even see this with DM mode when I Ctrl+L on that token. For Token I can only see my immediate line of sight.  Even when I log in with Player B's account.  No "explored areas" The only difference I can see is that Player B doesn't have paid account. Looking at the Subscription FAQ, this shouldn't matter right?  Since I, a GM with a Plus account, created the game? Thoughts?  Am I missing something?
I believe for the Ctrl-L (for you the GM) in order to work properly to really see what a token sees the all tokens reveal (gm) has to be checked, then you check your findings. The other thing i noticed (not sure if that was intentional) but your bright light and dim light are 20 and 20. If you set it that way your dim light starts at the same radius the bright light emits. So technically that those tokens only see dim light. I am not sure which rules sets your using but common token settings for vision from torches are set like this : 40 and 20. This mean the token will see 20 feet out to bright light, and the next 20 is dim. This can vary from rule sets but hopefully that helps. 
Yeah the dim light thing I've been playing with.  It doesn't make any difference.  I have "expose on dim light" turned on. Ctrl-L is also not relevant here since I'm testing by logging in to the player account.  The thing I'm seeing is a difference between players that have a paid account and those that don't. Perhaps there's an issue because I may have created the game before I had a paid account? 
Unless there a  bug in your specific game, i would try creating a new game and duplicating the issue. One thought that might help us is showing us screenshots of what each token see compared to what you expect to see. Not saying there's not a bug, but the way I interpreted your issue is that some tokens are revealing the adv fog war (it shows gray) and some are not. Keep in mind a player only see what he sees through a token he controls as determined by controlled by, which would be the character sheet or by the token itself. However the players on free would see adv fog war the same way a pro or plus account user would. The DL is always set by GM account and his subscription no one else's.  
"Advanced Fog Of War Reveal Distance" set to 0 rather than null.    Okay, so that's sorted.  
Thanks for your help.

Also note that Cmd/Ctrl-L is of limited usefulness in checking vision and light setups. Its primary use is checking line of site. It will not show waht a token sees from external light sources for instance, nor will it hide things on the GM Layer. The best way to verify DL setups is with a  Dummy Account .
