I believe the history page shows all the posts from the IP you're viewing the page from.
There is a bit of trickery that if you use the same VPN as someone else, you can see all the posts anyone has made from that VPN IP address.
The person who created the post history saw the privacy issue of that and allowed you to block the page for your IP. So your family or anyone else who shares your IP cannot see.
You can click the link at the top to "block this page" or something which will blacklist your current IP address. The page will no longer list the posts when that IP address accesses the page. If your IP changes you have to block it again.

Posts made with the same IP get grouped together on the history page for that IP.
>I use some boards in my browser private mode
Private mode doesn't keep any website from seeing your IP address, all it does is prevent your browser from saving data locally (cookies, cached media, browsing history) and referring to what it has already saved. So if you browse Wizchan in Private Mode, at the most your automatically generated post deletion password will be different, because that's stored as a cookie on your PC.

I don't use a VPN and my parents aren't going to come here so that shouldn't be a problem for me, right?

My IP address changes from time to time though, does that mean that I will lose the post history once it changes? And technically the person that gets my IP address next could see my posts?

Wouldn't it better to use the cookies so it's linked to each computer?

>I don't use a VPN and my parents aren't going to come here so that shouldn't be a problem for me, right?
Correct. There should be no evidence of you using Wizchan unless they go on your computer and check your browsing history
>My IP address changes from time to time though, does that mean that I will lose the post history once it changes? And technically the person that gets my IP address next could see my posts?
Both yes.
>Wouldn't it better to use the cookies so it's linked to each computer?
Whatever software Wizchan uses allows for that, but I don't think Wizchan does. A lot of people don't save cookies anymore, and those who do would have a different post history for each device and browser they browse from.

ideally there would be some sort of psudo-login system where a user can enter in a unique string and get all posts made while that string was typed in its field at the time of posting. Like a file deletion password that reveals all posts made with it.

I really don't know why would someone want to have a history with all the posts that you have made here. I don't see the utility of it. With the watchlist is enough to follow the threads where you have posted.
