Toilet drains completely... any suggestions?

Try increasing the amount of water in the tank.

Thanks for all the advice. I'll be trying some of these suggestions later in the day. If worse comes to worst, I'll call the landlord. I neglected to mention I live in an apartment and could probably have the problem fixed with a phone call... but then how would I learn?

This is what I was thinking when I first moved out on my own and into a duplex, It didn't take 2 weeks before I had water spraying out of the faucet and onto to the ceiling, and then dripping for 3 days into the garage underneath my bathroom
