It appears chat is now cutting off messages. No known reason. No mods to chat. No updates to software. Only change was a naming change for renaming Dashboard. Any ideas?

Two things to note. At the bottom of the message that ends with "Illuminati" he continued typing...all that was lost. There were several more msgs that did the same thing.

Is there a line limit or word-count limit??

Rick, chat indeed cuts of the message.
Right now the limit is set to 255 characters.
You can change the limit ( either length or type itself) in ow_ajaxim_message table in your database:

I have found the folder you referenced but I cannot locate any database. The only two files within the folder are showing as php files. The database is one that I should be able to find in cPanel, I presume but it is not listed. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I'm fully demonstrating my ignorance for the world. Found it. And changed the value...thank you so very much.

You are welcome.
It was my fault. I should have mentioned that you need to use something like PhpMyAdmin to access this table.
