Bug Description

https://shipit.ubuntu.com/myrequest has a limit="20" attribute/value on the Name: field, I was able to register with my full name in the launchpad system (which is >20 characters). But I can't enter my full name in the shipit system.

Please increase the limit to however high it can be and still fit on your standard shipment packaages, and if it's already at that limit please inform users of that on the page (e.g. by popping up a JS window saying that the field can't exceed this amount due to whatever reasons)

This is a shipit bug; apologies for the misconfiguration -- shipit does indeed use Malone.

Salgado, see also bug 3609, it's not exactly about the name/company fields but they're related to this bug and could be fixed in the same patch.

This is a limitation that the shipping company Canonical uses has; there's nothing the software can do to alleviate this.
