I have subscribed to numerous threads and have never gotten a notification. I assume it's user error but I'm not sure what/how.

Take a look at the options in the next page. You may not have specified email. I don't get email of updated threads. I just visit the page of subscriptions to see what's new. I bookmarked that address.
