Hey AvikB,
This is something that might have been asked and answered before, and/or perhaps it just isn't worth the effort, but it itched my OCD again a bit this week:
The font for <code> is very large, and very bold.
Personally I don't see much purpose in that.
Perhaps make it a bit smaller so that it matches readability with the rest of the forum page a bit better, and so that a larger part of the code is visible in the code panel?
