This is the only case that still confuses me for M2. My bld orientation is blue face in front, yellow face on top, and white on bottom. When I have the yellow/green piece in DF and the blue/white piece in UB or any other arrangement (b/w in DF and y/g in UB), I can't solve it. When all the other edges are solved, I don't know what to do with this, since it seems like I should use M2 to solve, even though it doesn't do anything.

Do I just do an M2 and then move on to corners, since then the pieces seem solved when ignoring centers.
 
This just means you have parity surely? I assume you mean that it's just those 2 edges that are out? In that case you just move on to corners. You'll find that you'll have 2 corners left at the end as well, so you solve them with some sort of setup move and a PLL
 
Oh, I see. I've been stuck on this for awhile and I haven't learned corners cause I thought I was supposed to be able to solve the edges. Alright, thanks.
