I prefer to increase the avatar sizes on Discourse so I can see them better. You’ll run into an issue doing this though because since the avatar images are 45x45 pixels, if you stretch them they get blurry. I had been using a snippet of of javascript (not made by me, and I forgot where I found it) to upscale the resolution of avatars since around last September, but a month or two ago it stopped working. Here is what I was using:

```plaintext
var originalAvatarImg = Discourse.Utilities.avatarImg;

Discourse.Utilities.avatarImg = function(options) {
    if (options.size === 'large' || options.size === 45) {
        options.size = 120; 
    } 
    return originalAvatarImg(options); 
}

Discourse.Utilities.avatarImg({size: "large"});
```

What was changed in Discourse in the past month or two that would break this, and how can I change that code to fix it?
