Everything after the question mark (?) is called the querystring. That is the GET method of passing information to a page. The destination page (newthread.php above) can parse the querystring for the data, and create pairs of variables and values.
A very basic example:
<?php
example.com/index.php?this=that
echo $this;
Output:
that
?>
