Chat window organization and filters. Logging?

[Stonze]

I feel like I miss a lot of things with a single window, and then when I try to split my chat/combat windows I feel spammed with useless info.

How many chat windows do you use? How do you filter your chat windows?

I just started using GINA for my kill timers. Now I'm interested if there is a good way to parse chat logs for DPS? Pet DPS? Money per kill/hour?

3 chat windows.

1st has all stuff not listed below.
2nd has group,say,tell,guild
3rd has ooc,shout,auction,system messages,other

1) group/say/ooc/shout
2) damage to enemy/pet damage to enemy
3) damage to me (turn off other misses)
4) /who bound to "A" key.
5) tells

That's the red setup - blue doesn't have the /who window

3 Windows for me:

1st has all my chat (shout, ooc, randoms, say, tells, etc.)
2nd has all my combat (skills, melee, spells)
3rd is exclusive to auction for EC so I don't get my chat window spammed when I'm there.

similar, altho its nice to have things like spell resists and skillups outside of fight spam

I do what Halius does. Interested in trying out Yumyum's damage to/from windows.

3 windows for me as well.

1 - All chat
2 - All combat + spells + effects
3 - Others hits and misses

Surprised so many people have this many windows. I just have two windows: one for stuff I care about (non-melee damage, /say, /gu, /g, /ooc, /tell, /shout, faction, delicious experience messages) and the other for stuff I don't care about (/auction, melee, most spell stuff). I only have /auc in the second window so that I can keep up with guild chat, etc. when I'm in EC. This setup works pretty well for me although I'm sure it could be optimized a bit.

for my first window i have misses filtered out and others hits/misses filtered out so i can see the red spam from spell resists very easily in the window and i do have my skillups in 3rd window. forgot about that.
