Upload problem with older ATmega328P

Who can add this text in the Arduino Troubleshooting page? I have insufficient privileges to this. Add this text in the section “Why I can't upload my programs to the Arduino board?”

If you use an older ATmega328P it can have the baudrate set at 19200 instead of 57600. This can be the error: avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00. You will have to change the speed in the boards.txt file in de folder hardware. Change atmega328.upload.speed=57600 to atmega328.upload.speed=19200

The reason you're getting the insufficient privileges error is the accounts to edit the playground are different from the accounts for the forum. You need to create a separate account on the playground. It only took me a couple months to figure this out :-)
