Can anyone tell me when to use "Reply" and when to use "Quote Reply"
I'm assuming "Quote Reply" is used to reply to a Hogs comment about your post. Is that a correct assumption?

Yes. That way one can tell to whom the reply was made.

And in a group discussion, use quote reply when commenting on a single person's observation. I chuckled over one a few days ago when a comment said, "He is one of our best photographers here; I'd take his advice." Because the comment didn't use quote reply, and there were five choices of he above, nobody knew who was being praised 
It's helpful to remember that any comment you make goes to the end of a thread; it does not go immediately below the comment you're reading and responding to, unless there are no other comments.

Request: When you wish to respond to an individual, please use "Quote Reply" or ID the individual by name so readers know who your reply is directed to.
There are three methods available: Quote Reply / Reply / Quick Reply.
1) "Quote Reply" will ID the OP (Original Poster) so everyone knows who the reply is addressing. Allows attachments.
Example using quote reply:
If the original post was too long, the system will edit it down.
What you will see in the reply box. Note: The symbols [ and ] have been replaced with { and } to disable the code so it can be viewed:
"{quote=shellback}This is where the original post was located and as you can see, the op is quite long winded and doesn't know when to stop...{/quote}" allowing you to edit.
2) Reply - Blank input box.Allows attachments.
3) Quick Reply Blank input box at bottom of page. Files cannot be attached.
See How to Post a Picture for details on adding attachments.
