There are some new features, the most obvious of which is the "multi quote" button. Think of this as an easy way to respond to many posts in one shot. Just click the multi-quote button next to each post you wish to reply to, then click the Quote button. Presto, pre-formed message with a quote for each selected post.
You can save your search preferences now via a slick AJAX interface (their words, not mine :) ), and I'm sure there are lots of other little nuggets we have yet to discover.
If you see something broken, please let us know -- posting in this thread is a good way to do so...

Multiquote is a great feature.
Has the in-place-editing function vanished ?
Clicking once does nothing, clicking twice brings up the extended editor.
When posting via the quick-reply box at the bottom of a thread, the thread doesn't get reloaded leading to the impression your post hasn't been added; reloading the thread by hand shows that it's indeed there.
The full-blown edit box works as expected.
edit:
in-place-editing and the quick-reply box now work.
Thanks for fixing it.

Ummmm. Sure. I'll take credit for that one. Let's see, what all did I do? Oh yea, went to sleep last night and thought about trying to debug it this morning :).

I see.
Probably Safari doing some housekeeping in the Cache gets at least partial credit and myself none at all for not cleaning it out myself...

I noticed the same behavior on my machine using Safari. I just cleared the cache and restarted Safari, haven't noticed any improvement yet.
I like the additional grey line down the side of the post text window. Makes it slightly easier on the eyes.

I like the quoted text embedded in the reply email. This makes the reply more sensible when viewed via the email.

I just noticed a few changes to the forum, and then found this post.
There is also a spinning gray loading image whenever you click a button. (ie. click the 'Edit' post button)
Also, the 'cool multi-quote feature' doesn't work for me. Unless I am using it wrong...

Seconded.

You have to select the posts you want to multi quote, then click the quote button next to the last quoted post. It then opens the create post page with all the quotes on there.
(…) and I'm sure there are lots of other little nuggets we have yet to discover.
1. I love that it now tells you how many seconds to wait before posting again if you've double posted within 60 seconds.
This forum requires that you wait 60 seconds between posts. Please try again in 6 seconds.
If you see something broken, please let us know -- posting in this thread is a good way to do so...
2. The Textbox in editing seems dodgy in camino (nightly.) The cursor doesn't always appear where you click, and in moving around with the arrow keys it jumps around in weird places (ie out of the textbox.)
Easiest way to reproduce it is to down arrow on the last line of the textbox - jumps to the beginning of the line, but when you then type, it carries on at the end of the line like it should.
3. There is no three really, just wanted to say I love these forums and the site :)

4. Camino seems to refresh open threads in my tabs every so often - is this a new feature or just camino being odd…?

In Flock, the quick reply is semi-broken. Most of the time it won't do anything at all visually, but it does post. So I've managed to double-post.

Hooray - the basic search is back to boolean "and" when multiple words are entered!

So cool to see this forum run on vBulletin - AND it being the latest version too. Great site, familiar forum software and a nice team of staff members and community users.
Anyway, here's a list of about 100 new features in 3.6.0 (note, staff on this site might have turned a few off..)

Why is the first choice for polls auto-italicizing? It happened with my poll, and I just saw the same thing on the partition poll. I didn't specify any italics formatting for those choices.

I'm getting e-mail notification of thread updates minutes before it even shows up in my control panel. Even if I refresh my control panel page and empty my browser's cache, the new thread updates don't show up right away. Very odd indeed.
