Can't upload Deforms in Viewer 2.8.1

[Burtrum Forester]

I like making non human avatars using Deforms. But recently I've noticed Viewer 2 wont let me upload any. I get this error in the animation upload window ---

"Unable to read animation file. Incorrect root joint name, use "hip"."

I have never had this trouble before. I tried using the Beta and Mesh viewers as well, but the same thing happens. 

Is anyone else having this problem?

I truly hope this isnt a case of LL giving us Mesh but taking away deforms. That would not be cool. :(

Well I certainly hope that they are fasing out deforms because I'm motly in SL to not be human.  LOL  I think a lot of other people are with me on this.
