If the request is "/showthread.php", then redirect the client to the same
url but with "/forum" prepended -- it looks like that is what you want?

  location = /showthread.php { return 301 /forum$request_uri; }

Then configure your nginx-php interaction according to the application
documentation for it to be in a "subdirectory".
