How do I get a particular website to send messages from its members to my inbox rather than the spam folder? I use AOL and am on a PC.

A website I regularly use, www.modelrailroadforums.com, has various forums though which its members can pose and respond to questions, problems and the like by posting them on the site's topic-relevant forum. Replies are then sent blindly to the question poser's personal e-mail. Clicking on a link in that e-mail takes the questioner to the appropriate forum on the website for reply and followup.

About 95% of the messages/replies I receive from the site's members are sent right to my AOL spam folder rather than to the inbox. I use a PC and AOL's basic free e-mail service. I've searched throughout Firefox for a possible solution without any success. AOL's e-mail system also offers no way to accept or block a specific website. It only has a feature to permit users to block specified e-mail addresses only.

I've already sent this question to the administrators of this website. They have offered no possible "in-house" solutions and have only suggested asking Firefox and AOL (Ha!) or have thrown their hands up in defeat.

I also use another model railroad forum with which I don't have this problem, as all replies to my queries go directly to my inbox.

Suggestions? Solution?

Some e-mail providers have an option to sort incoming mail. Contact your e-mail provider for help.

Heck, that's like trying to get the IRS to answer its customer support phones on April 15th!! But, I did pose my question on its "help" page and lo and behold saw over 1,000 possible solutions. No way am I going there.

Well, unless another AOL web-mail user comes across this thread in Firefox support, little chance of getting an answer here.
