Ok, after signing up again and subscribing to three forums I received three subscription notification emails this morning, instantly (within a minute of the posts) so I would say your board's subscription emails are working just fine.
There are a couple of things to remember when it comes to subscriptions in a vanilla phpBB install, first no new post notifications will be sent out to you if you are the poster and secondly, it only sends out the initial notice of a new forum post/topic reply since your last board visit, it does not send notices for every new post/topic reply in the specific forum. Here is one of the three notices I received this morning:

So even though you posted two new topics in that specific forum I received notification of the first one only, the second topic did not generate a second notification because of the default behavior I explained above. The other two posts in Personal Ads & Forum announcements generated two separate subscription notices as well. I think everything is working as it should.
