I have read a few posts here and it does seem ssl is not very compatable with smf or am i wrong? Is it a simple process or very complicated for just adding a ssl certificate please advice post links and any tutorials that may be relevant.

Actually for the most part setting up SSL is actually very very easy. There's just no magic tick box for it.

Pretty much you can start by replacing all the theme URL and primary board URL settings to point to https instead of http and that will fix the bulk of it before you start. Then it's a fairly quick find/replace in the posts to replace links between posts with https instead of http - to do it entirely across the site.

Then just tick the SSL cookies box.

You can read the whole posts in that topic as well for further understanding.

Oh yes. Read this as well: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=515965.0
