Currently, while a group is advertising for more members, mousing over the group's entry in the LFM panel will reveal what instance each member is currently in (Harbor 2, Gnashtooth Clan Lair, etc.). When the group is full, they no longer have an entry in the LFM panel and this functionality is no longer available. My suggestion is that it remain available, perhaps by having a separated area of the Group tab devoted to the player's current group.

That's what group chat/voice chat is for. You know...."Hey which harbor instance you guys in?" or "Where we meeting?"
Trust me it works, and it leaves the Devs time to work on things of alot higher need.

"That's what chat is for" is an argument against every part of the Social panel. However, the Social panel exists, which suggests to me that "That's what chat is for" is not a compelling argument. To reiterate, this feature is already available while the group is filling, why not have it still be available when the group is full?

When I need to know this with a full party I simply readvertise the group. No one can join because it is full (you can even type "full" into the description) but the group will appear in the LFM list. Just remember to check it quickly and then click the arrow at the top left of the LFM box to stop advertising once you have located your lost party member.
/who "party member"
works well too, I do this very often but perhaps I don't mind as I can type fairly quickly.

In all actuality it is. It's called whoever is group leader reposts the LFM with the full party. It's done quite often. Putting in a checkbox on the WHO tab for "My Party" is more reasonable. Then it does a search for ONLY those in your party. You don't have to add another tab or section. The WHO tab tells you where those people are already. The checkbox would refine the search and take less time to code in and less likely to cause bugs than adding a whole new section.
Besides...the LFM tab is for finding MORE people for your party, not for showing you things that you can actually ask them.
