Can I now remove the folder or is 6.5.1 still using it even though I don't have 'member tracking using session files' enabled?

I thought this was - maybe I'm wrong. But I thought 6.5.1 moved post tracking out of the cookies, which got too big, and into the sessions.

Ok, so it's being used even though I don't have member tracking via sessions enabled in the CP??

The reason I'm asking is that I read the install guide once again and it recommends placing the directory above the web root. Problem is I can't move the directory as the option isn't directly enabled in the CP, which is where I would normally alter the path/url.

Nope - Ian is right, it appears that directory is only used on install. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Never mind. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

One sec, Ian mentioned that it IS being used, but you wrote that it appears to be only used during the installation...

But you're using 6.5 and not 6.5.1 or 6.5.1.1, right?

We've noticed funkyness with this as well. If it can be addressed easily, it will in the next release.
