Should have thought of that first before bothering you.
Many thanks Stefan.

That is the part I am not sure of, do I have to create a section similar to this...

# A comma separated list (without spaces) of server group ids.
# Depends on the given mode, this server groups can be ignored or only this server groups get this welcome message!
# If no server groups should be ignored, set no server groups here and select the group list mode ignore!
welcome_group_list =
# Select one of the two modes for the server group list.
# ignore = The selected server groups will be ignored and don't get this welcome message.
# only = Only the selected server groups get this welcome message.
welcome_group_list_mode = ignore
# A comma separated list (without spaces) of the total connection count (it's the same value as %CLIENT_TOTALCONNECTIONS% at the welcome message),
# when this message should be send to the client. Set this to -1 to show it every time.
# Ranges like 1-100, -20 (means 20 or less) or 100- (means 100 or more) are also possible.
welcome_showonconnectionnumber = -1
# A comma separated list (without spaces) of platform names (it's the same value as %CLIENT_PLATFORM% at the welcome message).
# Only selected platforms get the welcome message or leave this empty to send the welcome message to all platforms.
# Possible platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS
welcome_platform_list =
# Select the message mode, how the client should get the message.
# poke or chat are valid values!
welcome_message_mode = poke
# Path to file which contains the welcome message.
welcome_file = %apphome%config/server1/welcomemessages.cfg

Or just add the paths to this section after the path to the welcome_file = %apphome%config/server1/welcomemessages.cfg

I have been trying to create different welcome messages for different server groups but with no success.

I have changed the server cfg file bot_functions to include WelcomeMessage:welcome_members and have written a new welcomemessages_members.cfg file in the config folder.

How do I activate this message in the server config file.

Thanks for taking the time to help.

I got it to work using the AutoMove function 
Had to rearrange some of the channels and the ID's but on the positive side that means I learn more on how the bot works

I will have another look at the automove function, maybe I can use it.

I was hoping there was a way to remove the option that allows a client to set their own default join channel.

I only want them to enter the server using the default channel then they can join any channel they want, if I move joining power I will restrict their movements.
Some of the members have set a specific channel to join when they join the server and they dont come in the front door so they miss any messages that are there.

Hi Stefan,

Is it possible to use the bot to only allow entry to the server through the default channel only.
Can I stop members from entering the server to any channel of their choice, I only want them to enter on the default channel only.

Thank you Stefan, it's working now

Tried the code suggested as below but I still get the same resulting error "message is to long"

You were moved to channel "%MUTE_CHANNEL_NAME%" because your client status is muted.§+§You will be moved back if your client status is not muted anymore.

# JTS3ServerMod Config File
# Away Mover message, the client get this message as chat message.
# You can use the following keywords, which will be replaced:
# %AWAY_CHANNEL_NAME% - This will be replaced with the name of the specified channel
# Typical BBCode like in Teamspeak 3 Client possible. You can use \n for a new line.
# Use the character sequence §+§ to split a long message into multiple messages.
You were moved to channel "%MUTE_CHANNEL_NAME%" because your client status is muted.§+§You will be moved back if your client status is not muted anymore.

Those characters looked like $ (dollar) signs, no wonder it didn't work in the cfg file.
They are alt keyboard characters § (Alt 0167)

Is this the correct syntax {You were moved to channel "%MUTE_CHANNEL_NAME%" because your client status is muted. §+§ You will be moved back if your client status is not muted anymore.}

Or is it like this {You were moved to channel "%MUTE_CHANNEL_NAME%" because your client status is muted. §!=§ You will be moved back if your client status is not muted anymore.}

I dont know where to put it 
I tried like this {You were moved to channel "%MUTE_CHANNEL_NAME%" because your client status is muted. $+$ You will be moved back if your client status is not muted anymore.} but it didnt work
if you can show me where you would put it as an example then I can work out the rest

At the moment I am using the default message [You were moved to channel "%MUTE_CHANNEL_NAME%" because your client status is muted. You will be moved back if your client status is not muted anymore.] which has 150 charterers

I have tried to split a long message into multiple messages using the sequence $+$ but I still get an error that the message is longer than 100 characters. I have looked around for BB code but cant find any reference to this sequence or how to use it.
I have set up the message to be delivered with a poke.
Can someone please give me an example?

# Typical BBCode like in Teamspeak 3 Client possible. You can use \n for a new line.
# Use the character sequence §+§ to split a long message into multiple messages.
You were moved to channel "%MUTE_CHANNEL_NAME%" because your client status is muted. You will be moved back if your client status is not muted anymore.

Thanks Stefan, I should have realized the mistake sooner but the more you look for a solution to a problem you forget to look for the simple solution 

Should

# Channel id that should be watched for new clients. You can only set one channel id here!
Channelnotify_channel_id = -1

be

# Channel id that should be watched for new clients. You can only set one channel id here!
channelnotify_channel_id = -1
