yh if ur obese then the toilet will break and you will get stuck down the drain or u may take the biggest dump ever and cause an explosive splashback.
What is meant by the 'ring' of a toilet?
The wax ring is just to seal the toilet to the drain. It has no effect on the flushing.
Was it thick enough to make contact with the bottom of the toilet? Did you have to push down on the toilet to make it sit on the floor? Sometimes you have to use a thicker one or use two. You should have to push down with some of your weight on the bowl right behind the seat to compress the ring and make it seal.
The toilet wax ring is probably cracked and leaking.You have to drain and remove the toilet to replace the wax ring below it.Hope this helps!

Remove the toilet from the floor, locate the broken tip, and replace the toilet. Don't forget the new wax ring.
The name for the wax seal for a toilet is a wax toilet ring. Some people also call this item a toilet wax bowl gasket.
You can find detailed instructions for replacing the wax ring under your toilet at http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/bath/fixt_repair/toilet/wax_ring/replace.htm. It should cost around $20.00 to complete this job.

Not at all. Unless your toilet is in the middle of the ocean.
It seals the gap between the base of the toilet and the toilet mounting flange so that sewage and sewer gases don't escape into the building.
the shift in weight from the new tank may have caused a shift in the wax ring and gasket where your toilet hits the drain pipe. wax rings only cost about $3-$5 and are easy to replace with a friend.
