Replace the flapper. Water is leaking around edge.

Rjohnson, are you saying that the water in the toilet bowl is disappearing?

Chuck and I are getting a different read on this, a rare occasion.If your toilet flushes fine but then the bowl empties this would indicate a clogged vent stack that is allowing your toilet trap to be siphoned. Clear the vent by rodding from the roof. Let me know if you need more instructions.
