Official announcement has been posted here by SkyMilesTeam of Delta Air Lines:
As you are aware, starting January 1, 2014 U.S.-based Medallion members will have a new requirement for earning status: Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs). We have updated on this change throughout the year and have some more information to share this morning.
Starting January 1, 2014, members will earn MQDs for Preferred and Economy Comfort seat purchases, in addition to the MQDs earned for base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges on Delta-marketed or ticketed flights. For more information about what counts and what doesn't, see the MQDs FAQs.
We are also excited to announce the launch of a new Medallion status tracker at delta.com. The new tracker can be found in the My SkyMiles section of delta.com or on the My Delta dropdown on the Delta homepage when you are logged in. The tracker displays your MQMs and MQSs side by side and will also track your MQDs and MQD Waiver (Delta SkyMiles Credit Card Spend) progress once these new thresholds launch on January 1, 2014. The new tracker will also be in the Fly Delta app beginning January 1, 2014. For more information on the changes at delta.com, see the What’s New page.
Happy holidays from the SkyMiles Team,

Logged into delta.com and noticed they have done some updates to the medallion progress tracking as well as adding in MQD and Qualifying spend tracking in the myskymiles areas. Not bad, hopefully these also included back end fixes to mileage posting and other known issues of late.
Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays!

I wish DL would stop trying to put lipstick on this pig!!!
I had an earlier posting problem that had been corrected through intervention and now the posting has reverted to an altogether different problem.
Here we go again. Getting to contact DL over their sky miles posting problems one more time. Anybody else getting weary over this?

I am, had to twice now on behalf of the wife, and once for myself recently. You'd think they would prefer implementing these changes at the start of the year since people will not be as jumpy as the end when many are chasing status.

They have also cleaned up the way postings (specifically redemptions and re-deposits) look in the SkyMiles activity section. It looks much nicer.
I guess I have been lucky - all of my flights have posted in 24 hours. That has included KL flights as well.
