My toilet bowl is draining. The tank is fine but over several hours the bowl drains to almost nothing. No visible leaks around or below the bowl have been detected and the tank is full and fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer:
The water is going somewhere, and it's not down the drain!! Pull the toilet and check for cracks. Set the toilet outside on a plastic tarp, (outside), fill the bowl with water, (slowly, least it flush on you), and see if it leaks over a period of time. If it does it's cracked - replace the toilet.
