Thank skf rtesring - following your example, I tested your current nip05 and had the same result - it researched the server, didn't get a response, si went searching the relays and just sat spinning. I'll have to introduce a timeout. Bit odd that the server response returned nothing though - I give that extra time as servers are slow at times.

I also tried my old nip05 - my last one, on a server I own, worked instantly. My old iris.to one took a while then returned an old version of my profile, from when I first arrived here on nostr. God knows how that happened. It was lacking most of my profile info, but was definitely me.
