The subscriptions are intended to notify you when other members have posted to a thread you are interested in.
You should not be receiving notifications when you post to a thread that you have subscribed to. However, you should be notified when someone else posts to a thread that you have subscribed to. Does this match the behavior you are seeing?
If not, please let me know more information about what thread you should have been notified about and what thread you were actually notified about and I will investigate further.
