darkcoder are you sure that the old theme isn't being cached by your browser and therefore you have to refresh to get the new CSS ect from the server..

i say this because the way you explain the problem it doesn't sound like a scripting problem.. if this was a scripting problem it would mean that the script is first getting the users old stylesheet and then getting the new one .. to do this it would probably take another 3 database fields which you obviously haven't setup as you dont want that happening (plus it wouldnt be practical anyway)

try turning caching off and testing it or change your theme and clear your cache ect and then see if u need to refresh every page to get the new theme
