My LTC balance still hasn't gone up since before all the trouble, and I've been mining for the past 16 hours.
Anybody else experiencing the same?

Unless the multiport is pointing to LTC, you are basically solo mining. Unless you have a lot of horsepower, your variance is going to be huge.

This is not a LTC pool.

Thanks for the explanation. I am new to mining
I see the block time for LTC is 57.52h, does that mean coins will be paid out every 57.52h at the current pool hashrate of 50.2 MH/s?

More or less, yes. The block time is the estimated time to find a block. Note that this is an estimate and the actual time can vary greatly. The pay out will not occur until a block is actually found not on the estimated time. So coins would be paid out ~every 58hrs only if a block is actually found then.

The block time is an function of the pools hash rate and the coins difficulty. Either one will cause the block time to get higher or lower. And both vary on a regular basis.

Are you sure about that? I've been told that the block time (here, in top right corner) is the time elapsed since a block was last found. Other websites might vary in their terminology.

I should have been more specific. You are correct that the "block time" displayed in the upper right on the main page is the time elapsed since a block was last found. When the poster I was responding to said block time, I saw that as just a shortened version of the time to find a block from the stats page. But you are right, he was probably referring to the main page and the block time displayed there.
