Avatar Skeleton Reset Synchronization Across All Viewers

Problem
Currently, when users need to reset their avatar's skeleton, the changes only apply locally to their own viewer. For other users to see the reset skeleton, the avatar owner must use a workaround that involves resetting their skeleton locally, teleporting elsewhere, and then teleporting back. This process is cumbersome and interrupts the user experience.
Solution
Implement a system where when an avatar owner resets their skeleton, it automatically sends a packet to all viewers that can see that avatar, instructing their clients to also reset the skeleton display on their end. The same functionality could be extended to animations, allowing users to clear all animations across all viewers simultaneously.

A universal everyone-fixed UNDEFORMER-- PLEASE!!!
Eren Padar
At FF recently with changing avatars so many times, I became exasperated at having to RELOG in order to undeform my avatar so that EVERYONE sees me properly. We have an undeformer for our own view, and in Firestorm there is an undeformer others can use (if they care to bother)... but what a pain when a single UNDEFORM command should cover all issues. I'm not suggesting it's an easy fix. I'm saying it's a seriously needed one that should be at or near the top of the feature list. Seriously, after over two decades how does this problem still exist on SL? It's been an issue since I was a newb in 2004 and is still a problem in 2025.
Thanks for listening.

This would help everyone who ever needs to change from dinkie or dragon or whatever to a regular human form. Too often you look right to yourself after hitting undeform, and then someone IMs you to tell you that you're still all twisted, and you need to relog.

We need a good way to undeform - I agree. Other than a relog how do we fix?
