Code:

mob/Login()
    usr << sound('Opening_1.wav',0)
    input("You have entered our universe...") in list ("Load","New")
    if("New")
        usr.gender = input("???: Hmmm... Are you a boy... or a girl?","Your Gender",usr.gender) in list ("male","female")
        usr.name = input("???: What shall we name the baby?",usr.name)
        usr.icon = 'Character.dmi'
        usr.icon_state = "Wisp"
        usr.loc = locate ('1_The Womb.dmm')
        ..()
        world << " [usr] is being born"
        usr << sound('Opening.wav',0)
        sleep(110)
        usr << sound('Middle.wav',0, volume = 50)
        var/savefile/F = new("[usr.key].sav")
        Write(F)
        saved=1
    if("Load")
        var/savefile/F = new("[usr.key].sav")
        Read(F)
    else
        usr << "You have no existing character."
        ..()

When I click "Load" it gives me the same result for when you click new. I also need to majorly revise the login to be more stylish, but for now I just need it to function.**Note: This DOES compile correctly but does not function the way it was intended to.

Garthor	The string literal "New" is not empty, therefore it will evaluate to true. Therefore, if("New") is always going to execute. You probably wanted a switch() statement, here.
