A lot of my users use the VNC along with topics and filtered forums so that they don't have to wade through forums that they aren't interested in:

This works fine, and it even remembers the selection when you go back in or even use a different browser. However, if you click on All New Content/Files/Articles and then go back to Topics your forum selection is lost. As the selection survives across browsers I guess it's being stored in the DB somewhere so could we please have the filtered forums list remembered when changes types unless they are manually cleared?

We have lots of improvements for content discovery in the works right now  

Personally I would view it as more useful having it be an exclude list (or let the members chose whether the selected forums is what should be included OR excluded). 

New forums can be added, and when you do it as an include list as it currently is, then your members will have to stay on top of it, making sure they know about new forums they might be interested in being added for themselves etc. Which also reduces the chance they'll find topics from those forums, even if they want to.

I think it would be a good idea with some more filter options and to be able to save more than one "preset" for how to discover content, and it could be added as a tab or similar on top.

You may want to also check out Social Stream by @HeadStand and see if she's including that feature.

Yes, I do.

yep, something is needed imo as over time have found that members get used to hitting new content and are just not aware of new or changed forums

plus an option for the admin to reset  all members vnc filter choices would be welcome, - so if you do have major changes to the forums then can make the vnc people aware of them
