how do i choose a side in a CZ

Nope, not getting anywhere with this.

On my first visit to the CZ, I shot up numerous ships but got no combat bonds.

On my second attempt, I picked a side on the station's mission board, flew to the CZ, shot up various ships, and got no combat bonds.

On my Transactions tab, I have "Fight for Yupini Limited". Apparently I must "sign up as an active participant".

On my comms panel, on entry to the CZ, I can see:

CONFLICT ZONE
YUPINI LIMITED
VERSUS
NOVA IMPERIUM

...but if there's any way to actually select one, I haven't found it. So HOW do I sign up as an active participant? When I start shooting Nova Imperium ships, they sorta get the message that I'm hostile, and I get a welcome from Youpini, but how am I still not an active participant???

You have to around with the incredibly counter-intuitive menu navigating keys, assuming you're on PC. It's particularly bad on the comms panel depending on how you've got it set up with tabs. If you're playing on console then I have no clue.
 
...OK, got it eventually! " around", yes! I was hanging in the CZ for so long fiddling about that I guess my side lost the battle, I declared and got set upon by all ships present, highwaked out with no shields and 56% hull... duh.
 
Yeah didnt they say that this action would pick the side for you anyway? I'd like to know the answer.

Until declaring to fight for a side you are an independent third party who happens to attack one (or both) faction's ships. I don't think you would see the progress bars unless you choose a side anyway, which indicates now how long the fighting will go on in that instance.
 
So does the old method not working anymore? Haven't done any CZ in 3.3 and can't check right now.
the whole right hand panel was redesigned.
the "old way" isn't there anymore

tbh, having to re-pledge via the comms-panel every 10 minutes (because scenario reset) is annoying as hell.

Stops healies 4 feelies exploits, which have significantly more impactf given how CZs work now.
