Web Player--How do I pick a DEFAULT home server?

It’s ANNOYING that my desired default main server that for ages was the PLEX server my web client ALWAYS showed no longer shows because one of my OTHER non-default servers is the top server, so the new web client ALWAYS shows that EVERY TIME I click the “Home” button. UGH!! FIX THIS PLEASE, PLEX!!! SHOW ME THE LAST SELECTED SERVER AT LEAST!

If there’s a preference I can set, tell me please.

ANNOYED at the most recent web player changes,
–Astounding

SOLUTION:

THANK YOU OttoKerner, for that useful link.

The solution from the linked HELP page is to RESET my web client customizations. Upon reset, PLEX asked me to pick my preferred default server.

USEFUL! THANKS, OttoKerner!

----- P.S. to PLEX and their developers and designers:

This “solution” is VERY ANTI-intuitive, indication of POOR UI-design.

A GOOD UI-design, would have been for there to be a context indicator next to the currently selected default server, and ALSO within the existing server context menu in the sidebar, the one that currently has the choices of “Share…” “Scan Library Files” “Manage Server |>” (submenu) would be the INTUITIVE PLACE to show that a server was the current default, AND a GREAT PLACE for non-default servers to offer “Set as DEFAULT” – OR a “Set as DEFAULT Server” could be put within the “Manage Server |>” submenu.

One should NEVER have to go searching for help like I did only to discover one must RESET the web player’s CUSTOMIZATIONS. Who would think that THAT was the place to set the default server???

I consider this a DESIGN BUG. Please fix this, PLEX!
