I have the impression the `Latest avatar size` setting no longer works. I tried different sizes, and the only difference I noticed was that the avatars of other frequent posters disappeared.

I think the options selected for these screenshots are `tiny`, `small`, and `extra_large`. The only change I notice is the width, but the avatar sizes still look the same to me.

@jordan.vidrine I think it’s related to the introduction of: `--d-topic-list-avatar-size`

It broke [this theme component](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-avatar-component) setting:

The options for tiny, and medium are now unnecessary so I have removed them.
