Setting up my prompt and it seems like %e and %E do not work - I get NULL (not actual null, just a blank) instead of time or position even though my dude can clearly tell what time it is when using that function. Is %e and %E broken? Thanks.

I personally don't use that prompt function, but that sounds like a bug.  Might want to bug it in game or request under game bug.

I'll try it on my character and see what it gives me when I'm in game next.

The TIME function works for me.  If my character is in tunnels or some other place where "time" does not work, it also does not work in my prompt.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

Just tested it, works for me too.

Just to be clear - this isn't a question of the "time" function. It is a question of the %e (time) and %E (position) options for the prompt function.

Yes. It works for other people.

Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.

What client do you use?  There may be a weird setting like UTF-8 or something making your e's weird, especially if you have a non-english language installed

hahaha! Some things never change!

FWIW: %e did not work for me in CMud or tintin++ yesterday. Without changing anything - works today. *shrug*
