Am i undestanding this correctly, the PPS system only credits when a block is solved

This is incorrect. PPS is credited when shifts are created. Right now, this is about 1h 40m.

, you're still earning as normal, it just doesnt register as a confirmed reward?

With PPS, every share is paid for by the pool regardless of whether we find blocks or not.

Im just looking for something which will give me correct hourly stats

Bitcoin mining measured in hours will have a lot of variance because of share variance. We provide charts on your dashboard so show you your daily earnings over the last 30 days.

Yeah i get that bit, but im collecting the data for ProgressiveBTCMining.com and their members, so im accessing the API on the hour to get an update, and the data reported its not really accurate to what we've provided the pool. Its only going to tell me the PPS value of the blocks solved in that hour, which could in theory include a block which has taken say 6hrs to solve, therefore registering 6x what it's really earned, and the 5hrs previous come up empty. My experience of PPS doesnt match this experience, its like a poorer version of it, it might give the same income but its lacking 1 aspect that makes it valuable to me, live reporting of every share mined that hour.

As i mentioned, is this method of processing the PPS reward the intended method, or is it too a beta version, and a 'live' version will be implemented when you get to it?
As it stands, ive built the API parsing script to access the information needed, yet we're still sticking with Slush's which is where we've been since 50btc had problems, and the luck they've been getting hasnt given us a reason to leave yet.
Basically im just trying to figure out what to suggest our group uses, and find out whether the PPS system as it stands is how it'll always be, because the main benefit for us of PPS is live reporting, and thats not available here at the present time.
Im just writing basic scripts, and reporting back to the admins, they'll make the decision and ask the members whether to switch our 1st choice pool to this private one, but 5% PPS with block based updates kinda blows tbh.
