Same here. And I'm kind of annoyed DL posted my Europe-JFK flight already which I just took today (2/28). I was hoping it would post on 3/1 and give me 125% bonus 
Darn IT department at it again.

As am I. Some people are a bit too "omg my miles don't post immediately! Omg my status isn't updated immediately!". Is it really affecting you? In the grand scheme of things, is it really going to matter?
I am waiting to book a SFO-YUL flight, and want to make sure i'm listed as DM. I will probably check back later in the day Monday. If it's not reflected by EOD monday, then I will start to get interested. But the fact that it's not even monday yet (what's up with all the east-coast centric people?) in many parts of the states, including where I live, makes me really not care right now.

The status when you book the flight shouldn't matter as long as you haven't departed yet. I started flying Delta last year and was matched to Silver status...went through status changes to Gold and Platinum and both were reflected in my existing reservations immediately.
Only problems I had were when I had already begun the journey. Apparently you can call and have them remove and reinstate your number to reflect your upgraded status, but all the agents I talked to insisted they didn't know how to do it. This is much better than I experienced on United or AA where the status at booking was the status on your flight...which was only a benefit when I hadn't flown for awhile and had residue status.

Looks like they're doing the conversion right now - just checked the status of a flight for tomorrow and now it's not showing any level for me. Whoops!

It has me listed as a sky miles member---far stretch from the diamond I am supposed to be!
Ironic as both of my upgrades cleared earlier today for Fri & Sat flights...will check back tomorrow...if my status doesn't show tomorrow---not going to be happy at all!
