I am wondering any one can help me out with the problem I have with the toilet. It has no water left in the bowl after I flush it. Thanks.

I had what sounds like the same prob. When I would flush, the bowl would not fill. I found the sewer line from my house was partly cloged. The water went down so slow, it was causing it to syphon. I cleaned the line and all went back to normal.

Hi, I'm new to these forums but have been a plumber for the past 6 years. The first thing you can do is open the tank lid and make sure the small plastic/rubber tubing coming off the top of the fill valve is running water into the white plastic "flush valve." The flush valve is the white piece in the middle of the tank that has the flapper connected with it. It would also help if you can name the brand of toilet as some of them do not fill the bowl after you flush, you may need to raise the water level in the tank. Hope this helps!

Good advice sofar. Curious question, where are you located? Interesting moniker, and I guess Athens, GA.
