races arent saving

I currently am new to coowning a mud and we were trying to create races. We figured we would start easy and create a drow similar to elf. When a new character logs on as drow they have all features of an elf but when they log off nad log back on their race changes back into a human. Any idea why this is occuring?
Ps: We are currently running Quickmud.

Make sure in fwrite_char() that its fprintf'ing the race variable. If it is, also make sure fread_char() is reading it (needs to have exact same text for it to find it.
