I type it from someone's else PC, because when I try to log in, I get a message "Sorry, it seems like an intrusion attempt or your server doesn t support HTTP referers". What's up?

And for bonus points, have you tried both polishforums.com and polishforums.com?

This sometimes happens if some type masquerading is implemented on the client/LAN side.

Other than that, this may be also happening in Firefox.
Do this:

in the address bar type : about:config
find network.http.sendRefererHeader
rclick on network.http.sendRefererHeader and click Modify
Set the value to 2

OK, thanks. Now I remember, I disabled it because it was interfering with imageshack on some sites. Is there a way to enable it for Polishforums only?

not sure
you might want to aks that on mozilla forums or make use of "profiles" in the FFox and use that. You'll need more than one copy of FF running. Or simply, why not just get a few browsers (opera, chrome) and not worry about reconfig. depending on site. Both are fast and good. IE is still kinda hog.
