When i type this then login and click the verb it makes me neuter, can someone make it so a popup screen comes and then you pick the gender?

mob
    verb
        pick_gender ()
            male
            icon = 'male.dmi'
            female
            icon = 'female.dmi'
            neuter
            icon = 'neuter.dmi'

mob/verb
    pick_gender()
        switch(alert("What would it be?","Pick a gender","Male","Female","Neuter"))
            if("Male")
                src.icon ='male.dmi'
            if("Female")
                src.icon ='female.dmi'
            if("Neuter")
                src.icon ='neuter.dmi'

you can use input() proc alternetively.
Refer DM guide for it.

            if("Male")
                src.icon ='male.dmi'
            if("Female")
                src.icon ='female.dmi'
            if("Neuter")
                src.icon ='neuter.dmi'

                src.icon ='linkr.dmi'

Its because he used spaces rather than tabbing it over in his example. Take out all the spaces and replace them with tabs. Should be fine then.

It is because alert() proc can't handle more than 3 command buttons. If you want more than 3, then you can use input() proc
ex:
mob/verb
    pick_gender()
        switch(input("What would it be?","Pick Gender") in list("Male","Female","Neuter","linkr"))
            if("Male")
                src.icon ='male.dmi'
            if("Female")        
                src.icon ='female.dmi'
            if("Neuter")
                src.icon ='neuter.dmi'
            if("linkr")
                src.icon ='linkr.dmi'
