Member list on side of chat window w/ status indicator
Show a member list on the side of the chat window listing all the users that are in the current room, sorted by status and then name (so that logged out users are at the bottom).
This seems critical to communication .. who's in the room, who's online, who am I talking to, am I in the right room before typing @everyone, etc. At a glance. The little member button with drop down is insufficient especially in rooms with hundreds of people.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
We’ve now added a status icon in the channel member list (clicking the member icon in the channel header) and sorted it by user status.
This improvement is supported in Mattermost v4.7.0 and later.

As Edward said, this is not fixed. It should never have been closed

Adding a status icon in the dropdown in the channel header is not the same as having a list displayed on the side of the chat window.
We're trying Mattermost and the #1 complaint has been that it's hard to see who is currently in the channel with you. There's no notice when people enter or leave the channel, and no list displayed of people currently in the channel. A list of people currently in the channel over on the left-hand side (below the "Direct Messages" section) would solve this.

Also, at least on the Mac, the member dropdown does NOT show status and you have to go to the full member list (pressing the bottom button) to actually see the status. A quick overview of which members are active in a channel is indeed paramount.
